The FA
FA statement from David Bernstein
Thursday, 19 May, 2011
Chairman speaks about The FA's vote for Presidency of FIFA.
The FA Board has today agreed to abstain in the vote for the Presidency of FIFA.
There are a well-reported range of issues both recent and current which, in the view of The FA board, make it difficult to support either candidate.
The FA values its relationships with its international football partners extremely highly. We are determined to play an active and influential role through our representation within both UEFA and FIFA. We will continue to work hard to bring about any changes we think would benefit all of international football.
