Women's Football Frontline in FIFA Battle

Despite minimal mention in FIFA's 25-page sales deck, women's football bore the brunt of the proposed stakes sale in major tournaments. UEFA's declaration that European national teams would boycott FIFA competitions unless the proposal was abandoned entirely marked a bold stance against president Gianni Infantino.

The aborted sale, now described as 'very expensive waste paper,' would have privatized FIFA's competitions, with women's football standing at the forefront of resistance to what was seen as an attack on football's governance structure. forestarrow.help
