The FA has consistently viewed the claims as unsubstantiated and without foundation. We were therefore determined to robustly defend our position.

We are pleased that allegations of sexual discrimination against The FA and of sexual harassment against Executive Director David Davies were unanimously dismissed by the tribunal.

We are delighted for David and his family. The allegations made against him were both hurtful and unfounded. We are extremely disappointed that these allegations were ever brought into the public domain, particularly when they had been expressly contradicted by previous statements from Ms Alam.

David has had the full support of The FA throughout this period and we are pleased that these matters have now come to a conclusion.
