Poll: Should the FA act over £90 shirt They say it's nothing to do with them...
The Football Association has moved to distance itself from the outrage surrounding the pricing of Englands new World Cup 2014 shirt.
Three Lions fans have been left fuming after official match shirts for the summer tournament in Brazil were priced at £90 by manufacturer Nike.
Much of fans anger was directed towards the FA on social networks, however, English footballs governing body said in a statement: The FA is a not-for-profit Organisation that puts £100m back into the game every year.
It is through relationships with partners such as Nike that we are able to maintain that level of investment in football.
The FAs policy is to avoid any involvement with how its partners/licensees set their prices, so as to avoid any risk of or implications of price fixing.
