“Listen, you could get banned” — UEFA warns England

Whatever dream England may hold dear for Euro 2028 could be shattered even before the tournament kicks off as UEFA issues the Three Lions a warning.

According to the Union of European Football Associations, England are at a risk of being banned from a competition they ironically would be the hosts of. The bombshell comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer pushes forward with controversial plans to introduce a men’s football regulator, a move UEFA claims could jeopardize the “independence of sport.”

Despite England, along with the UK and Ireland, securing hosting rights for the tournament, UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis has fired back in a letter, threatening to exclude England if the government continues with plans for a watchdog overseeing top clubs.

Fans are in disbelief, as the ban wouldn’t just impact the national team, but also English clubs, which could face suspension from the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. One UEFA insider hinted that the move could plunge English football into chaos, derailing hopes of a long-awaited victory on home soil.

The football world is watching closely as the government’s next move could determine whether England’s return to hosting international football ends in glory or disaster.
