Friday briefing: UEFA hold FIFA boycott as Infantino apology falls short

UEFA have insisted their boycott of FIFA competitions still stands, saying Gianni Infantino has failed to meet the conditions set after withdrawing plans to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup to private investors. The European governing body rejected suggestions that the FIFA president’s latest statement had changed its position.

UEFA said its 55 member associations had demanded both the withdrawal of the proposal and assurances that similar plans would not be pursued again
