It has to be a concerted effort by uefa otherwise it won’t be effective. FIFA is the most corrupted organisation in the world and has to be pegged back.

UEFA and it’s members (all 55) are having an emergency meeting. It’ll be interesting to see the outcome.

Scotland should get a lot of respect for effectively boycotting the 2026 World Cup

Is this the world cup version of ‘silly season’?
Infantino is about as popular as a turd sandwich and his plans are generally shit. However the world cup literally just ended. There are 4 years to go. It’s a *little* bit early to be discussing boycotts.
He tried pulling a similar stunt last time with a WC every 2 years and it went nowhere. This will probably go nowhere either.
Nothing ever happens

It’ll never happen. They’ll fall into line like they always do.

If UEFA has the guts to be the forefront of this, it’ll have a major impact. They have the opportunity to be considered the heroes here. I think I read that the AFC president is also against this, particularly thanks to its shoddy execution. If you can get the AFC and UEFA to act, FIFA will be fucked.

FIFA is already corrupt but Infantino took it to greater heights. Now that Trump is involved we will see a World Cup that is like WWE and Super Bowl rolled into one making it extremely expensive and crash.

Anywhere there’s money there is corruption, it’s inherent to humanity.

Can’t get knocked of the world cup if your not in it🧠, seriously though all teams in Europe should follow suit.

Fuck it, UEFA should start their own world cup.
Get the Americans in and who then won’t join?

If wonder if UEFA just makes the decision to boycott as a block then every European nation has to fall into line and boycott or they will miss out on the Euro’s and Champions League, Europa ect.
Obviously it would have to be a transparent vote in UEFA, but if any dissenting nations wanted to go they would lose UEFA benefits.

People didn’t care when Qatar used actual slaves to build stadiums for the world cup, people didn’t care when America regularly tries to overthrow our democratically elected government and throws tariffs at our exports during the world cup, as if people are gonna boycott the world cup over some bribes.

Yes please. Kane will be too old for the next one anyway. Also fuck theifa.

The better option is for all European fans, regardless of country, to just refuse to watch whatever event fifa next put on.
We may be insignificant alone, but if vast majority of European fans stop watching, that will be a huge dent to viewing figures, impacting sponsors, venues, stakeholders and more importantly infantino.
If England boycott, but English fans still watch, it’s the same contest just 1 team swapped for another. If English team play, but no England fans tune in, it’s hitting fifas pockets

Honestly you probably only need a few of the major teams to agree to boycott together and FIFA would collapse.

The one time we have good team and then fifa make winning not worth it

Honestly it shouldn’t have even needed this for talks of boycotting FIFA. Absolute scum in charge.

All 55 Uefa countries have voted to support a World Cup boycott in protest against Fifa’s proposed deal to sell stakes to private investment, a source has told BBC Sport.
