Finance expert Kieran Maguire believes UEFA won't want to boycott the World Cup despite FIFA's plan to sell.

00:00I think we have to be careful about threats of a boycott, but because of the way that Infantino has
00:06effectively imposed this creation and proposed that it has to be voted on in 53 days, and if you vote
00:16against it, there's going to be a substantial reduction in the money given to individual nations.
00:21It does look like it's strong-arm type tactics from Infantino, and he's used to getting his way. We saw
00:30that Seferin did not attend the World Cup final. I think that was as a protest of the political interference
00:37within the tournament.
00:38So clearly there's hostilities between FIFA and UEFA at present. That is the ultimate sanction that UEFA have. I don't
00:48think it's a trigger that they want to pull.
