European nations have agreed to boycott the World Cup if Gianni Infantino goes ahead with selling off part of the tournament to private investors.
UEFA nations were due to hold an emergency meeting virtually this week to discuss their opposition to FIFA’s attempt to launch a new commercial company with external investment, a source said.
FIFA confirmed on Tuesday Infantino wants to launch a subsidiary worth $20bn (£15bn) and sell off more than 20% of the new FIFA Forward Enterprise by raising $4.2bn (£3.16bn).
The plans and way they have emerged provoked renewed fury within UEFA at how Infantino is running FIFA.
