UEFA and European nations said a World Cup boycott remains possible after FIFA ditched its plan to sell a stake to external investors. UEFA reiterated its threat to boycott the tournament in an effort to remove FIFA President Gianni Infantino, saying FIFA's backing of Infantino at a meeting on Wednesday "changes nothing." The English Football Association withdrew its support for Infantino. A continued boycott could threaten FIFA and has kept Infantino under pressure to resign.
