UEFA holds line on Infantino: 'Trust is gone' as FIFA boycott stands

UEFA has issued another statement confirming that it will continue to boycott FIFA competitions, despite the closure of the FIFA Forward Enterprise project, which had been designed to sell a share of World Cup rights to private investors. UEFA said its member associations had laid out two clear conditions: the plans to sell major tournaments had to be withdrawn, and FIFA had to provide guarantees that no similar attempts to discredit the game would be made again. According to UEFA, neither condition has been met. The organization added that its message from Saturday still stands: UEFA has lost trust in Gianni Infantino's presidency. In UEFA's view, the recent statement that some staff members of the FIFA president-whose careers depend on his favor-agree with him changes nothing. FIFA has officially backed Infantino amid the ongoing scandal.
