Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether the Government has made representations to the FIFA President on his remarks on equality and inclusion on 20 November 2022.

Sport operates independently of the government, therefore direct representations to FIFA on equality and inclusion would be a matter for Home Nation football governing bodies to raise.

The Government continues to work with National Governing Bodies of sport and sector organisations to tackle LGBT discrimination in local, national and international sport. Our aim is to increase diversity within sporting organisations and to help the sport sector be more inclusive and welcoming to its spectators, participants and people in its workforce.
