## Resource

The Liberal Democrats are demanding the English FA and Uefa sever ties with Fifa, accusing the global body of undermining football’s integrity through controversial decisions—including a Trump-backed reversal of a player ban—and prioritizing corporate profits over fans. Citing inflated ticket prices, hydration break disputes, and officials barred from the US, they argue Fifa is beyond reform. Leader Sir Ed Davey calls for a new, transparent governing body, while Fifa’s president defends pricing and eyes a fourth term. With England potentially sidelined from the World Cup, the party insists drastic action is needed to restore trust and fan focus.
