🚨 FIFA row: other confederations ready to join UEFA's boycott? The shockwave caused by UEFA could well upset the balance of world football. By firmly rejecting the partial privatization of the World Cup, UEFA may have just triggered one of the most serious governance crises in the history of modern football. But the European threat to walk away from the sport’s biggest tournament may only be the first domino in a chain reaction that could spiral out of FIFA’s control. According to talkSPORT and The Athletic, the 41 member associations of CONCACAF (North America, Central America, and the Caribbean) have called a high-level crisis meeting. In their sights: FIFA’s lack of transparency and the confusion caused by its desire to bring private funds into an institution that is nevertheless financially sound. As CONCACAF could also come out in favor of a boycott, all eyes are now turning to CAF (Africa) and CONMEBOL (South America). If those confederations were to follow UEFA’s lead, Gianni Infantino and FIFA could find themselves facing the most alarming scenario in their history: a World Cup without some of the biggest nations on the planet.
