🚨 FIFA row: other confederations ready to join UEFA's boycott? | OneFootball

The shockwave triggered by UEFA could well disrupt the balance of world football.

By flatly rejecting the partial privatization of the World Cup, UEFA may just have sparked one of the most serious governance crises in the history of modern football.

But Europe’s threat to walk away from the game’s biggest tournament may only be the first domino in a chain reaction that could spiral out of FIFA’s control.

On Thursday evening, the 41 member associations of CONCACAF (North America, Central America and the Caribbean) called an emergency meeting at 6:30 p.m. to decide the issue. They ultimately rejected Gianni Infantino’s plan.

All eyes are now on 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.
