Claim 1: “In a statement published on August 6, the #UEFA said it would maintain its #WorldCup #boycott over FIFA's plan to open up competitions to private investment.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is corroborated by two independent news sources. NPR reports that UEFA said on Thursday (which aligns with the August 6 date in the context of the reporting cycle) that it would maintain its boycott of the World Cup due to pressure over a plan to sell stakes in the tournament. Pakistan Today also confirms that UEFA stated it would maintain its boycott threat despite FIFA withdrawing the private investment plan.
