“Effective governance in football is built on the foundation of trust, mutual respect, and collaboration. As we see it, the ‘backstop’ power, while intended as a safety net, should be carefully reconsidered to avoid undermining these fundamental principles. UEFA strongly recommends a focus on fostering an environment where voluntary, mutual agreements are prioritised, and where stakeholders are encouraged to negotiate in good faith, potentially with The FA acting as a ‘mediator’ where necessary and/or appropriate”.
