The English could be banned from participating in the World Cup and the home Euro 2028.

This could be the result of a new bill that was introduced in the spring of 2024.

A supervisory body is being created in Britain that will oversee all football in the country, The Times reports.

The structure is expected to prevent wealthy clubs from participating in the new leagues and protect teams from financial mistakes.

This initiative caused indignation on the part of UEFA, which opposed the creation of a sports regulator in English football.

The administration of the international organization sent a letter to the British authorities, warning against government interference in the management of football.

If the appeal is ignored, UEFA could ban the national team from the 2026 World Cup in North America and Euro 2028 in England and Ireland.

The Labour government stated in its programme that it intended to create a supervisory body.
