This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
The FSF appeared before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee in Parliament this this week to discuss this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
FSF chief executive Kevin Miles answered questions from MPs, along with representatives from the FA and the UK Football Policing Unit.
The session is now online and can be viewed below:
Already this season we’ve seen some ludicrous misses. This week FC Köln’s Sehrou Guirassy put his name for worst miss of the season – somehow missing from less than two yards while almost sending the ball back out for a throw-in. Incredible effort.
Last week, FSF Cymru met with the Football Association of Wales (FAW), Welsh police and train operators Arriva to talk about upcoming international fixtures and other supporter issues.
Ahead of the World Cup in Russia this summer your Free Lions team have been feverishly beavering away getting the lowdown on all the potential venues England fans could end up in. In what could be described at best as a tense political climate, it’s arguably more important than ever that fans are informed before they follow England to this summer’s tournament.
Most fans heading out to the tournament this year will have already purchased their 2018 World Cup tickets, whether you are supporting England, indulging in some football tourism by taking in some other games, or a bit of both. With your tickets in the bag your planning for Russia is likely to be in full swing. So with the tournament less than 100 days away what’s next for travelling supporters?
