“We remain open to continuing the conversations with the preferred bidders and the Administrators to try and find a solution that can see Sheffield Wednesday continue as a member of the League.”

Bet the EFL won't consider changes preventing clubs getting into financial trouble in the first place.

“The policy, of which has been agreed with Clubs and is there to act as guidance for all Clubs and insolvency practitioners, seeks to balance the interests, not only of Sheffield Wednesday, but also of the other 71 Clubs in the EFL.

Sheffield Wednesday's future in doubt:

EFL Chief Operating Officer Nick Craig, on Sheffield Wednesday:

“The League want to see Sheffield Wednesday continue as a member of the EFL, but ultimately we have to also apply the terms of the League’s Insolvency Policy.

It isn't often that a Austrian Football Bundesliga 18 year old catches the attention of English fans.

“This is probably the quickest turnaround we've had all season, playing Sunday and then Wednesday night going into a Saturday three o'clock. It will take its toll physically. So the emphasis has been on recovery. Today will be a really light, short, sharp session.”

FIFA president Gianni Infantino dons a red 'USA' hat with the numbers "45-47"—referencing Donald Trump’s two non-consecutive presidential terms—during the inaugural meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace in Washington, D.C., on February 19, 2026

So it is up to FIFA to interpret if Iran should be subject to fines and bans or if the USA has failed to ensure the safety of its guests.

If only there was some clue which way they'll lean

Key points from FIFA's framework include:FIFA Stadium Safety and Security Regulations outline detailed responsibilities for hosts (associations, organizers, and venues) to implement structural, technical, organizational, and operational measures to ensure safety in and around stadiums. This covers protection against intrusions, crowd management, emergency planning, and coordination with local authorities (e.g., police, fire services). Hosts must take "all reasonable measures" to ensure safety for players, officials, referees, VIPs, and spectators during matches and related activities. The host nation/member association on whose territory matches are played bears primary responsibility for compliance with applicable regulations, including obtaining necessary authorizations and ensuring security arrangements. This extends to international matches and competitions under FIFA's oversight. For the FIFA World Cup specifically (including 2026), bidding and hosting processes require government guarantees on matters like visa facilitation, customs, tax exemptions, and broader event delivery. Security is a core operational element—host cities and countries must develop plans addressing public safety, risk assessments, and protection of participants. FIFA's human rights framework for events like 2026 emphasizes creating "safe, welcoming, and inclusive" environments, with host cities required to produce action plans covering nondiscrimination, security, and protection against risks (e.g., for fans, workers, and teams). However, these obligations focus primarily on stadium-level and event-specific security (e.g., preventing violence, intrusions, or disasters during the tournament) rather than guaranteeing absolute safety from broader geopolitical conflicts, state-level threats, or decisions by a host government (such as visa denials or entry restrictions amid international tensions). FIFA regulations emphasize that if a host lacks legal authority for certain measures, they mu…

FIFA's rules and related hosting requirements do address aspects of safety and security for participants (including teams, players, officials, and other stakeholders) during major tournaments like the World Cup, but the focus is on the host city.

Trump's phrasing implied potential dangers for the Iranian players if they traveled to the US-hosted matches.

Iran's national team responded suggesting the US (as host) might not deserve to participate if it couldn't guarantee security for all teams.

Trump said, "The Iran National Soccer Team is welcome to The World Cup, but I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety."

Trump said, "The Iran National Soccer Team is welcome to The World Cup, but I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety."

FIFA's regulations stipulate automatic fines for any team withdrawing from the tournament, ranging from approximately €275,000 to €555,000 depending on the timing, along with potential additional sanctions like bans from future competitions

Bizarre situation:

Iran has announced it will boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup, citing safety concerns and geopolitical tensions following U.S. airstrikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader in early March 2026.

Kieran Maguire shared this:

If rumours of a £7m wage cap for Sheffield Wednesday in League One are true, these are comparable wages from that division in 2023/24. Not all clubs published wage data as some use a loophole to avoid disclosure.

AFC Wimbledon have sold over 800 tickets for their away trip to Stevenage today 👏
