Let's wait and see. I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet.
It’s not as if the UEFA officials are all incorruptible. They might just need to sweeten the deal a bit more for Europe. And then, in the end, the whole thing will go ahead after all - perhaps under a different name or so.
If UEFA were truly a staunch defender against the selling-out of football, they would have put their foot down years ago.

This is not about corruption per se. Infantino was too greedy and and did not find a way to cut UEFA mafia in.

UEFA and FIFA are joined by hip in corruption for decades. UEFA has been involved in several high-profile corruption, bribery cases.

UEFA wants to prevent FIFA from organising all future tournaments.

With the World Cup and the other events that their commercial entity will start organising, FIFA will decide when players and clubs are financially required to play, thereby removing the ability of local and regional organisations to continue their own competitions.

Yes, it is about money, but it is more about preventing a commercial organisation from ruining national football.

Supporting homophobia: Ok
Handing a "peace price" to the guy who keeps ending the same war: Ok
Reversing a red card as a friendly gesture to the don: Ok

Selling out: Now hold on a second.

That's not corruption having consequences, that's either corruption getting too obvious (nah, everybody could already see it), or someone wanting their share.

Are the UEFA members finally stepping out of FIFA? It's about time. I hope they start their own competing international football federation, this time with more accountability and less corruption.

Infantino being the end of FIFA sounds entirely appropriate. I really hope UEFA follows through.
