00:00European football governing by the UEFA has threatened to proceed with a boycott of FIFA
00:05events, rejecting an official apology over a collapsed $20 billion private investment
00:09plan.
00:11Following an emergency FIFA meeting in Rabat, President Gianni Infantino claimed full support
00:16from senior management.
00:19However, UEFA insisted its 55 member associations will maintain boycott pledges stating FIFA
00:25failed to provide guarantees against future attempts to sell off major competitions.
00:31UEFA dismissed FIFA's internal statement arguing backing from Infantino's own staff
00:36changes nothing.
00:38The institutional conflict expanded on Thursday as global player union FIFPRO launched a fierce
00:43attack on FIFA leadership.
00:46FIFPRO condemned the Morocco summit as a governance failure and a profound abuse of presidential
00:51power.
00:52The union accused FIFA of attempting to dismiss a constitutional crisis as a simple communications
00:58error.
