According to the statement, the FA and FIFA held several discussions aimed at resolving misunderstandings and ensuring that football remains united despite growing tensions surrounding the issue. Both bodies stressed that cooperation and mutual respect are essential to the future of the sport.
The agreement also reaffirmed FIFA’s commitment to maintaining fair competition and working alongside its member associations to address concerns through established governance processes rather than actions that could disrupt tournaments.

The statement has drawn mixed reactions from fans. Some praised both organizations for finding common ground and preventing further uncertainty, while others called for greater transparency about the discussions and the details of the agreement.
