00:00Well, we have world champions who are from UEFA, three of the four finalists were from UEFA, the richest clubs
00:10in the world.
00:11If you take a look at the Deloitte Money League, the 30 richest clubs in the world, again are UEFA
00:19clubs.
00:19So UEFA already has the majority of the power. They, of course, have the Champions League.
00:25They have the European Championships. So they are seen as the rich entity in world football.
00:31If they boycotted, where would this leave FIFA in terms of a World Cup?
00:37The broadcasting rights would certainly decrease in value. The commercial value of the tournament would fall as well.
00:45We saw that Seferin did not attend the World Cup final. I think that was as a protest of the
00:51political interference within the tournament.
00:54So clearly there's hostilities between FIFA and UEFA at present. That is the ultimate sanction that UEFA have.
