Britain urges FIFA withdrawal and new federation
Under the umbrella of British criticism, calls are mounting for England to withdraw from the International Football Federation (FIFA) and to establish a new governing body. This comes after Argentine players celebrated with a flag bearing the phrase "Malvinas (Falkland) Islands are Argentine" following their qualification for the 2026 World Cup final at England's expense. Sources indicated that the British government has requested an international investigation, but has received no official response. Politicians, including the leader of the Liberals, condemned FIFA's actions, asserting that the tournament exposed a "complete breakdown" in the federation's integrity and calling for a coordinated withdrawal to restore confidence in organizing such competitions.
