The German Football Union opposed the boycott of the World Cup
The German Football Union (AFF) has taken a stand against the boycott of the World Cup in Russia this summer, Reinhard Grindel, president of the headquarters, told DRA. Earlier this month, UK Secretary of State Boris Johnson said British politicians might give up a visit to the World Cup matches following the spy scandal. In keeping with these claims, some media have spread the information that even England`s national team may boycott the championship. `The German Football Union relies on dialogue and not on boycotts, but a possible boycott will not change anything, and on the contrary, the Olympic Games in the Republic of Korea have shown that sport can actually help to de-escalate tensions in international relations, ``The use of a sports event or events and its participants for political purposes is not in line with our principles, ` Koch said. According to FIFA`s rules, a possible denial of participation could even lead to the country being removed from the next World Cup. Any team that has qualified for the World Finals is obliged to play all their matches advised by
livescore until it is dropped, it is said in the Ordinance.
