Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Sport, commenting on the announcement of FIFA’s fining of the home nations for wearing poppies, said:

“Fining the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Football Associations a combined £75,000 for remembering those who have died in war is utterly disrespectful.

“FIFA have been embroiled in a corruption scandal, which has seen tens of millions of pounds in bribes paid out under their watch.

“Rather than fining UK teams for wearing poppies FIFA should be concentrating on getting their own house in order.”
