Gianni Infantino’s role as FIFA head has come under increasing scrutiny. Alex Grimm/Getty ImagesUEFA stated its participating members could still boycott FIFA competitions including the World Cup despite Gianni Infantino’s apology statement.On Wednesday, FIFA apologized for its plans to sell off stakes of the World Cup, acknowledging that “mistakes were made.” Following a meeting in Rabat, Morocco, of senior FIFA leadership, the governing body stated it had “reaffirmed their full support” for Infantino’s presidency.UEFA’s member nations had unveiled their decision to boycott all FIFA tournaments in the immediate aftermath of FIFA’s World Cup privatization plans, and stated they stand by their stance.”UEFA’s associations were very clear about the conditions attached to the non-participation in FIFA competitions,” they stated in a statement on Thursday to ESPN.”First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again.”These conditions have not been met. In addition, UEFA made it abundantly clear in its statement on Saturday that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino’s presidency. That position holds.”Yesterday’s announcement that some people employed by the FIFA President (and whose careers depend on his favour) agree with him changes nothing.”
