Rejected petition A call for all home nations to boycott the FIFA Russia 2018 World Cup.

It is an outright disgrace that the home nations should be partaking in a sporting competition in a country that has committed numerous war crimes in Syria. Nothing NEEDS to be added to that, but..organised hooliganism, outright racism, and state sponsered drugging make this event implausible.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This would be the responsibility of the football associations in the home nations, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
