Title

British Football Boycott: International Federation Decision, Club Tours Jeopardised

Subject

Amateurism, professionalism, and conflicts between soccer federations

Description

Article explains how the decision by FIFA to boycott British teams from international play stemmed from the decision by the Football Association (FA) to withdraw British participation in the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. The boycott of British teams would go into effect soon, but the article notes that Motherwell was already in South America and it would be difficult to see how the ban would affect the Scottish club.
