The English national team faces exclusion from Euro 2028, according to UEFA's earlier warning
The British media reported on Saturday that UEFA has informed Prime Minister Keir Starmer that England might be kicked out of Euro 2028, which it is co-hosting, if he moves forward with his plans to establish a men's soccer regulating organization. Theodore Theodoridis, secretary general of UEFA, writes to Culture Minister Lisa Nandy, as reported by The Times and the BBC, stating that "there should be no state interference in the governance of soccer!" Defending the independence of the game as a "fundamental requirement," Theodoridis reportedly cautioned against proposals in the King's Speech to grant the new regulator control over clubs in England's top five leagues. Last year, the previous administration made public its plans to establish a regulatory body, citing the need to safeguard clubs from financial mismanagement and stop influential teams from forming independent leagues. After the July election, the Starmer administration promised in its platform to establish a regulator. In an interview with Nandy, Theodoridis expressed UEFA's "concern about the possibility of the IFR (Independent Football Regulator) being extended."
