欧洲足球联盟的55个成员协会投票决定，若国际足联批准向私人投资者出售世界杯竞赛股份的计划，将抵制世界杯1。北美足球联盟的41个成员协会也已拒绝了这一提议1。两大洲际足联合计代表96个协会，而国际足联需要其211个成员中的106票才能通过该方案1。
欧足联强烈反对将世界杯商业化，称其为足球最伟大的遗产，不应出售给私人投资者1。欧足联副主席劳拉·麦卡利斯特表示，该提案对足球构成"真正的生存威胁"1。欧足联的官方立场是"世界杯不能被视作一项投资产品"1。
国际足联主席因凡蒂诺向各国提供4000万美元（3000万英镑）支持该提案1。计划投资方为美国风投公司Thrive Eternal，其创始人约书亚·库什纳是特朗普女婿贾里德·库什纳的兄弟1。该提案的截止投票日期为2025年9月19日1。女子世界杯预选赛将于10月举行，将成为首次测试欧足联这一立场的机会1。
UEFA's 55 member associations have voted unanimously to boycott the FIFA World Cup should the international governing body approve its plan to sell competition equity stakes to private investors 1. The North American confederation has similarly rejected FIFA President Gianni Infantino's proposal, with 41 member associations opposing the initiative 1. Together, UEFA and CONCACAF represent 96 of FIFA's 211 member federations, leaving the governing body short of the 106 votes needed to pass the measure by a September 19, 2025 deadline 1.
UEFA has characterized the proposal as fundamentally incompatible with football's values, stating that "the World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product" 1. UEFA Vice President Laura McAllister described the plan as posing a "genuine existential threat" to the sport 1. The investment vehicle behind the initiative is Thrive Eternal, a U.S. venture capital firm founded by Joshua Kushner, the brother of Jared Kushner 1. Infantino has offered $40 million (£30 million) to individual nations to support the proposal 1.
The women's World Cup qualifying tournament scheduled for October will serve as the first test of UEFA's stated position on the matter 1.
