England should leave FIFA to stand for human rights & the integrity of football

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to work with the FA to leave FIFA and support other other nations with our same values like Denmark who have announced they are considering it

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the UK's membership of FIFA are a matter for the Football Association, not the UK Government or Parliament.
