England and other UEFA member associations are reportedly prepared to boycott the next men’s World Cup if FIFA proceeds with plans to sell shares of the tournament to private investors. According to the accounts, the position is aimed at putting pressure on FIFA to reconsider the proposed ownership and financing structure for its flagship competition. The reports say England is aligned with fellow UEFA nations and that a unanimous stance is under consideration within UEFA. The proposed boycott would be contingent on FIFA moving forward with the share-selling plan, rather than a blanket rejection of participation regardless of any changes. The articles focus on the dispute over FIFA’s approach to involving private investors, framing the potential boycott as a response by football governing bodies in Europe. No details are provided in the supplied text about specific FIFA mechanisms, timing, or alternative proposals, and the reports do not confirm that FIFA has formally agreed to the plan or that a final decision on any boycott has been reached.
