England U16 player fight was resolved quickly - FA

England U16 player fight was resolved quickly - FA

The FA says a fight between two players at an England Under-16s camp was caused by an "internal matter".

A fight between England Under-16 players at a camp in Turkey was caused by an "internal matter" which was "quickly resolved", says the FA.

An online clip from the camp in late-2025 shows two players fighting in a hotel room, while several others film and encourage them.

The FA said the issue has been settled and no further action will be taken.

An FA spokesperson said: "We were made aware of an internal matter during an Under-16s camp in October 2025. This was quickly resolved at the time."

The clip, which is about a minute long, shows a boy wearing official England kit grab a phone from a boy who is lying on the bed in a hotel room.

The pair scuffle over the phone, leading to punches and kicks as well as grappling.

At one point the boy who attempted to take the phone tries to get the other boy in a headlock, before dragging him around the room and throwing him on the floor.

They played Turkey, Wales and Portugal in October and November 2025.
