PHOTO: 2026 World Cup expansion: UEFA threatens Europe boycott, as they demand additional 3 slots, to the initial 13
The plan by FIFA to expand countries participation in the World
Cup, may be facing a huge challenge, as the World top destination and number
one when it comes to club world football, Europe and UEFA, are threatening a boycott...
This the Association promise to do, if
their demand of additional three teams-countries, to make a total of sixteen teams in the 2026 world Cup are not met by FIFA...
This demand
could have a negative effect on other continents hoping to have more teams participate
in the World cup...such as Africa and Asian countries...But the UEFA President Ceferin, is not bothered, saying:
“UEFA was the only
confederation that did not want it, but we had no chance.
“And that’s why we decided to fight for as many European
participants as possible.”
“The quality is in Europe
and South America,”
“That’s just the way it is. We demand at least 16 places that
would be the worst-case scenario.”
He continued: ‘ let’s not be arrogant but in terms of quality
and turn over, Europe is number one...we are not just another continental
association....
you can’t just outvote us every time...if that happens, it could
lead to grave problems between FIFA and UEFA. But FIFA’s aware of it and that
is why it won’t happen’
...Wow! this is far more worst than what a typical ‘Donald Trump’ would say...I
am guessing the new UEFA President is a
novice in world football, and for him to threaten FIFA with a boycott, and
forgetting that the world cup can still
take place with or without Europe, shows his knowledge on football
administration is very limited...
Other countries cannot cow under you or Association because you
feel you have the ‘best league in the world, which is clearly dominated and
made popular by African, South America and Asian players...even North
Americans, even though they play their football with their hands, also contributed
immensely....
