UEFA said its participating members could still boycott FIFA competitions including the World Cup despite Gianni Infantino's apology statement.
On Wednesday, FIFA apologized for its plans to sell off stakes of the World Cup, acknowledging that "mistakes were made." Following a meeting in Rabat, Morocco, of senior FIFA leadership, the governing body said it had "reaffirmed their full support" for Infantino's presidency.
UEFA's member nations had announced their decision to boycott all FIFA tournaments in the immediate aftermath of FIFA's World Cup privatization plans, and said they stand by their stance.
"UEFA's associations were very clear about the conditions attached to the non-participation in FIFA competitions," they said in a statement on Thursday to ESPN.
"First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again.
"These conditions have not been met. In addition, UEFA made it abundantly clear in its statement on Saturday that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino's presidency. That position holds.
"Yesterday's announcement that some people employed by the FIFA President (and whose careers depend on his favour) agree with him changes nothing."
FIFA's plans to sell off the World Cup had been rejected by North America's soccer body Concacaf, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) as well as the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football.
FIFA eventually disbanded their plans to sell off the World Cup, with leading figures in the organisation including Arsène Wenger and CEO-like secretary general Mattias Grafström also distancing themselves from the plan.

However, it's worth noting that Grafström was among the FIFA leadership group that threw their support behind Infantino on Thursday amid calls for him to step down.
UEFA is the first governing body to speak out since FIFA's statement of apology.
The English Football Association (FA) also said it remains steadfast in its rejection of Infantino's candidacy for re-election as president next year, per the Press Association's sources.
The Wales, Sweden, Finland and Serbia football associations have also publicly withdrawn their support of Infantino.
