UEFA boss Aleksander Ceferin is being urged to consider his future due to alleged cronyism and safety deficiencies at the 2022 Champions League final.
The Liverpool MP Ian Byrne has urged the Football Association to put pressure on Ceferin following UEFA's handling of the final between the Reds and Real Madrid 16 months ago.
Before the match, thousands of supporters endured lengthy queues, dangerous policing and attacks by local thugs, and an independent report found UEFA bore "to FA CEO, Mark Bullingham, accusing UEFA of having "seriously endangered" supporters and calling for the removal of Zaljko Pavlica, the organisation's head of security and close friend of Ceferin.
“I believe it is vitally important to remember at all times that UEDA is a confederation of football associations, which means the FA is part of it and as such the FA must hold UEFA to account, especially in a situation where supporter safety has been so seriously endangered due to appalling governance and cronyism at UEFA. At present this does not seem to be happening but turning a blind eye is not an acceptable response.
