Media reports have just revealed the reaction of the European Club Association to the decision of the European Football Association "UEFA", represented by boycotting the men's and women's World Cup tournaments, in protest against the recent decisions of the International Football Association "FIFA".
UEFA announced today that the 55 member federations have decided not to participate in the next edition of the men's and women's World Cup, in light of the decisions announced by FIFA, represented by selling part of the shares of the International Football Association to the company "fifa forward enterprise", which will oversee the next World Cup.

UEFA confirmed in the statement it issued today that the World Cup is not for sale, and that FIFA's new proposal will put the future of football in the hands of people whose first and last goal is to make money only.
English journalist "Ben Jacobs" mentioned that the European Club Association fully supports UEFA's decision to boycott the World Cup, while other continental federations may join UEFA and also boycott the next World Cup.
Jacobs added via his official account on the "X" platform that FIFA President Gianni Infantino is in a difficult position, as the Swiss man's decisions are considered a vote of confidence or no confidence ahead of the upcoming FIFA presidential elections.
He concluded by saying that there are prominent figures in football who may demand that Infantino not run for a new term in the upcoming FIFA presidential elections.
