France, New Zealand Confirm U20 Women's World Cup Amid Boycott
A big soccer tournament called the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup is coming, and it will be held in Poland.
It is for young women's soccer teams from all over the world.
Two countries, France and New Zealand, just said they will take part.
That made the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, very happy.
Some people were angry at him because of a plan he had about the World Cup.
A group called UEFA was so upset that it said it might stop taking part in all FIFA competitions.
Other countries, like Argentina and Mexico, said they support Infantino.
In the end, the plan that caused all the fighting is no longer happening.
Now everyone can focus on the tournament in Poland.
France and New Zealand have confirmed their participation in the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup in Poland.
The confirmations came as a relief to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who faced strong criticism over a World Cup sell-off plan.
UEFA was furious with Infantino and threatened to boycott all FIFA competitions following the rift.
The controversial proposal at the center of the dispute is now defunct.
Argentina and Mexico were among those who offered support to Infantino.
