FA confirms it has received no formal notification of charges filed by Serbian authorities


Further to the Serbian Police announcement regarding charging England Under-21s players and staff, The Football Association can confirm it has not received any formal notification of any charges filed by the Serbian authorities.

We have not been made aware of any of the names of individuals connected with these charges and we therefore await further details and formal communication on these matters.

Meanwhile we are in contact with the British Government for advice, as well as speaking with our colleagues at UEFA.

The FA reiterates its position of full support for all players and staff caught up in the appalling scenes in Serbia two weeks ago.

We want to reassure those concerned that we are committed to doing everything necessary to protect them whilst also offering support to individuals and their families.
