The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is maintaining its boycott after the international governing body, FIFA, has thrown its support behind Gianni Infantino to continue as its president. UEFA has indicated that FIFA needs to demonstrate a greater commitment to substantial reforms before they will consider lifting the boycott.

The decision by FIFA to back Infantino for another term has created significant tension with UEFA, highlighting a disagreement over the direction and leadership of global football governance. UEFA's stance suggests a deep-seated concern regarding the perceived lack of meaningful change under Infantino's leadership, prompting them to take a firm position until concrete evidence of reform is presented.
