On August 1, local time, UEFA issued a statement welcoming FIFA abandoning its proposal to establish a commercial subsidiary and sell some of its shares in the World Cup and other games. The statement thanked all fans, leagues, clubs, players, etc. who opposed the plan. UEFA said that the plan was prepared by some anonymous people. It is extremely fast, and the person responsible must be found to hold them accountable. UEFA will work closely with member associations and other intercontinental football federations to reflect on the causes of this incident and develop plans to ensure that similar events do not happen again. The statement also criticized FIFA President Infantino, saying it failed to deliver on its promises.
