The English Football Association’s chief executive has declined to say whether his team will denounce the UAE’s human rights violations as they had in Qatar.

The FA is currently tied into a sponsorship deal with the UAE’s Emirates airline until 2024.

In an interview posted to Twitter on Tuesday, Sky News sports correspondent Rob Harris asked FA chief Mark Bullingham if England will be “consistent” when dealing with the UAE, as there are concerns about human rights violations.

Bullingham said that the federation intends to be “respectful” of other people’s “cultures and traditions.”
