- Uefa is set to call off its planned boycott of Fifa tournaments after Gianni Infantino's controversial plan to sell off stakes in competitions failed to materialise and assurances were provided that similar attempts would not be repeated.
- The resolution ensures European participation in upcoming events, including the Fifa Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland and the senior England women's team's World Cup qualification play-offs.
- Despite ending the tournament boycott, Uefa's opposition to Infantino remains unchanged, with numerous member associations withdrawing their backing ahead of next year's Fifa presidential election.
- Infantino is facing widespread calls to step down as the AFC in Asia and Concacaf have joined Uefa in opposition, with regional bodies discussing a potential vote of no confidence.
- Opposition to Infantino's leadership has been further fueled by concerns over fundamental structural governance, as well as controversial decisions including awarding a Fifa peace prize to US president Donald Trump.
