> UEFA is reportedly preparing to withdraw its threat to boycott FIFA tournaments after receiving assurances that FIFA will not revive a plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors. European teams are therefore expected to play in next month’s Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, while UEFA continues considering legal or regulatory action.
