Women's Football Frontline in Fifa Battle

Despite being barely mentioned in Fifa's proposal to sell stakes in its major tournaments, women's football found itself on the frontline in the battle against the plan. Uefa issued a bold statement declaring European national teams would not participate in any Fifa competitions while the proposal remains alive.

The aborted plan, now described as "very expensive waste paper," prompted Uefa to demand binding assurances that Fifa will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership. This move represents a direct confrontation with Fifa president Gianni Infantino, whose tenure has seen women's football increasingly used as a pawn in governance battles. realschule-moosburg.de
