Sir Ed Davey, FIFA, UEFA and the English FA
Wednesday
UK Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called for the English FA and UEFA to withdraw from FIFA, accusing the governing body of damaging football’s integrity after recent World Cup controversies.
His criticism followed disputes over Folarin Balogun’s ban being lifted, ticket pricing, half-time shows and possible expansion to 64 teams. The comments add political pressure to the growing FIFA-UEFA governance row.
