State Duma Deputy Nikolai Valuev said that the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) will not exclude England from the 2028 home Euros “Sports Express”.
“This is an internal conflict. Nothing will happen,” said Valuev.
The reason for the national team’s exclusion from the tournament under UEFA could be the possibility of the emergence of an independent football regulator, the concept of which was proposed by the main political parties of Great Britain. This regulator would be tasked with overseeing English clubs and their owners and controlling the licensing system.
UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis has already sent a letter to UK Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Lisa Nandy, the gist of which is that the government should not interfere with the development of football.
