FANS GROUPS OPPOSE GB OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM

International Fans organisations from around Great Britain oppose the formation of a joint Great Britain Football team at the Olympic Games.

It is our view that such a move toward a joint team could severely jeopardise the independent status of the four Home Associations. All four Associations' have a proud tradition of very long standing which fans from the four countries wish to retain and any move toward a joint team is seen a major threat to this status.

There is a view within FIFA, the world governing body, that England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales should compete jointly under the banner of Great Britain on a permanent basis. It is our view that a joint Great Britain football team at the Olympics would further enhance their case.

We will continue to oppose a Great Britain football team and would ask all like minded people to support our campaign
