England could be banned from the next European football championship in 2028.
Oku.Az This was reported by the British newspaper “The Times”.
According to reports, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) could make a decision on the possibility of creating a governing body for English football.
It should be noted that UEFA General Secretary Theodor Theodoridis sent a letter to England’s Culture, Media and Sport Minister Lisa Landy on the inadmissibility of government interference in the management of football. According to the newspaper, he called for avoiding giving regulators the power to control clubs in England’s top leagues, calling independence a fundamental requirement of football.
The Times writes that UEFA may otherwise impose sanctions, the most serious of which is the expulsion of the national federation. In this case, the English national team will not be able to participate in the European Championships to be held in England and Ireland in 2028, and English clubs will be excluded from European Cups. In addition, the participation of English footballers in the 2026 World Cup may be in doubt.
