Uefa is set to drop its threat of boycotting Fifa competitions, having received assurances there will be no repeat of Gianni Infantino's plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors, BBC Sport has been told. The matter will be discussed at a meeting of Uefa's executive committee in Monaco on Thursday.

Earlier this month, European football's governing body said that despite Infantino's plan being aborted following widespread condemnation, the conditions required to prevent a boycott had "not been met". "Assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again," Uefa insisted. That came after Infantino had told national member associations that the FFE proposal was "now off the table", and apologised for "errors".

If the boycott threat is lifted, it will mean next month's Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland will proceed as planned. Six European teams - England, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and hosts Poland - are scheduled to play in the tournament. Uefa has led the backlash against Infantino, and is expected to continue to push for an overhaul of Fifa's leadership.

Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has said he expects Infantino to resign or to face a challenge to his role from another candidate at elections in March. "This isn't a climbdown," said one source close to the discussions, adding that Infantino's opponents "will continue until there are wholesale changes". Last month, European football's 55 member associations voted to boycott all Fifa competitions until the FFE proposal was dropped "in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that Fifa will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership".
