Greg Dyke: 'Football Association council overwhelmingly male and white'

FA chairman Greg Dyke raises the issue of how the FA council is dominated by white males with little diversity among the 120 members.

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has criticised how the body's council is dominated by white males and is in need of more diversity.

Dyke also pointed out how the FA's 120 members don't represent the supporters or the players in the English leagues.

"It's still overwhelmingly male, overwhelmingly white in a world that isn't overwhelmingly male and white, and somehow that has to be changed," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"We have to try and change it but we're not alone, supporters have got to try and change it as well."

Dyke has only been FA chairman for a year after stepping down from his role as Brentford chairman..
