Women's Football at Center of FIFA Power Struggle

Despite minimal mention in FIFA's 25-page sales deck, women's football found itself on the frontline of the fight for football's "soul" during the aborted privatization proposal. The plan to sell stakes in major tournaments would have heavily impacted the women's game, particularly with youth and senior qualifiers on the horizon.

UEFA's declaration that European national teams would boycott FIFA competitions while the proposal remained active marked a bold stand against president Gianni Infantino, positioning women's football as the key stake in the governance power struggle. moryak.biz
