Uefa has said a possible boycott may still go ahead despite Fifa giving its backing to president Gianni Infantino at a meeting on Wednesday.
The European governing body said Fifa’s support for Infantino “changes nothing”, indicating that its position has not shifted following the meeting.
The development comes as the FA has withdrawn its support for Infantino. The supplied material does not specify the nature of the possible boycott, the reasons behind the FA’s withdrawal of support, or what was discussed at Wednesday’s meeting beyond Fifa’s backing of its president.
Uefa’s response signals that Fifa’s stance has not resolved the issue. With the possibility of a boycott still open, the matter remains unsettled between the bodies involved.
The latest known position is that Uefa has not ruled out proceeding with a boycott, while the FA is no longer supporting Infantino.
