This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition To Boycott the 2018 Football World Cup in Russia.
Football fans across the world would agree the scenes in France are ugly and not what football is about.
A substantial amount of Russians turned up to fight.
Russia won the bid to host the 2018 World Cup on the back of bribes & corruption. Will their police protect our fans and would they be safe?
More details
You have Russian MP's supporting their acts of violence.
The English set up camp at a pub, hung out flags respectfully and sang songs... The Russians came to us, they came to fight. Yet, as of today 116 arrests have been made, not one is Russian.
If the government and the FA have any respect for the fans, especially those who have been injured and currently remain in hospital... You'll stick up for us, tell Russia we are boycotting the World Cup and encourage other countries to do so.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. If you would like Government ministers to boycott the 2018 World Cup then you could start a petition on that issue.
However if you would like the football teams of the home nations to boycott the 2018 World Cup, then that is a matter for the Football Associations in each of the home nations and not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
