HC Deb 06 January 2003 vol 397 c33W
Mr. Chope

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what action he is taking in response to the representations of the Mixer Soccer Academy in Christchurch about the restrictions on school students from Korea being able to participate in FA youth teams; and if he will make a statement. [88184]

Mr. Caborn

[holding answer 19 December 2002]: Mr. Michael Swift, who runs the Mixer Academy, recently brought FIFA's regulations governing overseas footballers under the age of eighteen to my attention. I have advised him that these are matters for the Football Association and the sport's international governing bodies, and asked him to keep me informed of the progress of his discussions.
