UEFA has warned England that they could miss the next European Championships hosted in their own country if Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer pushes ahead with plans for a men's football regulator.
Theodore Theodoridis states that there should be 'no government interference in the running of football'. Theodoridis warned against the plans to allow the regulator to oversee clubs in England's top five leagues.
The letter from Theodoridis reveals that UEFA believe a 'proposed licensing system' could be problematic, inspiring other countries to set up their own regulators, complicating governance.
Theodoridis emphasized, 'We have specific rules that guard against [state meddling]... the ultimate sanction for which would be excluding the federation from UEFA and teams from competition.'
