The Premier League and EFL welcome Greg Clarke’s clarification following the letter he issued to the FA Council today.
The original letter did not reflect the true nature of the discussions held at The FA Board meeting last week.
We wholeheartedly support the objective of improving diversity at every level of the game – including The FA Board – and are engaging with The FA on the options to achieve this.
Working together, the Premier League and EFL have already sought to increase diversity on the Board through the appointment of Rupinder Bains as our representative.
It was agreed at last week’s FA Board meeting to undertake an evaluation of diversity and inclusion within The FA in a consultative but efficient manner.
