Why UEFA Want To BAN England From Euro 2028

UEFA has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport. A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation. One particular area of concern stems from one of UEFA's fundamental requirements, which is that there should be no government interference in the running of football.
We have specific rules that guard against this in order to guarantee the autonomy of sport and fairness of sporting competition; the ultimate sanction for which would be excluding the federation from UEFA and teams from competition.

The FA's exclusion from UEFA could also prevent English clubs - as well as the country’s national teams - from competing in European competitions. This video details the situation at play, and what it might mean for both UEFA and England moving forward.

Quite ironic that they don't talk about nations/regions via their head of state taking over football clubs that's all fine and dandy but a independent regulator how dare they do such a thing we don't want politics in football you're banned😂
