Football Association chiefs have hit back at FIFA and insisted they will not be silenced ahead of the World Cup.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino wrote to all 32 national associations at the tournament last week urging them to put politics to one side and to “focus on the football”.
But that has gone down badly with the English Football Association, which, together with the Welsh FA, has signed a letter with eight other national associations insisting they would continue to talk out on human rights.
