German Football Association: 2018 World Cup boycott "won't accomplish anything"

By , Features Editor
The president of the German Football Association reveals that he is against boycotting the 2018 World Cup.

The German Football Association have confirmed that they would not support a boycott of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Following Sepp Blatter's re-election as FIFA president on Friday, the English Football Association's chairman Greg Dyke insisted that his organisation would back any UEFA-led withdrawal from the competition.

However, German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach believes that such an action "won't accomplish anything".

"We don't want to go down the route of a boycott. That won't accomplish anything," BBC Sport quotes the official as saying.

UEFA leader Michel Platini recently hinted that the governing body would consider leaving FIFA as a result of the recent corruption allegations.
