UEFA maintained its boycott threat against FIFA competitions on Thursday, saying conditions for lifting it had not been met, despite FIFA's apology following a crisis meeting in Rabat, Morocco. The first potential test of the boycott is the Women's Under-20 World Cup, set to begin in Poland on Sept. 5.

UEFA's 55 member associations voted unanimously to withdraw from all FIFA events after FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced plans to sell minority stakes in World Cups and other competitions through a commercial subsidiary. Infantino later abandoned the proposal amid widespread condemnation.

FIFA held an emergency meeting of senior leadership in Rabat, Morocco, on Wednesday, after which Infantino and Secretary-General Mattias Grafström wrote to FIFA's 211 member associations apologizing for "errors" in the now-scrapped commercialization plan. Notable absentees from the summit included Arsène Wenger, Jill Ellis, Sarai Bareman and Kevin Lamour.

FIFA's plan would have raised roughly $4 billion by selling a 20% stake in a new commercial entity to private investors. Concacaf, the Asian Football Confederation and several UEFA member associations, including the English FA, the Football Association of Wales and the Serbian Football Federation, withdrew their support for Infantino.

Global players union FIFPro condemned the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal as "a profound abuse of presidential power" and demanded legally binding engagement with professional football's stakeholders on major decisions, as well as voting rights on the FIFA Council.

Infantino, who faces re-election in March, would need a simple majority of FIFA's 211 member associations to win another term. A vote of no confidence could be triggered if one-fifth of FIFA's 211 members request an extraordinary Congress meeting, though convening one could take up to three months.
