"FIFA welcomes the UK government`s decision to allow fully vaccinated players the
opportunity to represent their countries in the upcoming qualifying matches for the
FIFA World Cup and return from a red-list country to bespoke quarantine
conditions," world football's governing body said in a statement.
"We have worked closely with the UK government, Football Association and
Premier League to find a reasonable solution, in the interests of everyone, and we
believe this is a much more desirable solution to the situation that players faced in
September."
The bespoke solution has still been criticised by clubs for the mental impact it can

have on players, who face spending up to three weeks without their families.
"The players go for 10-12 days with their national teams. Then another 10 days
away from their families into quarantine. That's 22 days and two weeks later there
is another international break," said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Friday.
"It is not okay we just move responsibility to the players. If you are ready to do that
then ok, if not then stay here."

Players also risk not being able to travel if they have not been fully vaccinated.
"We acknowledge this decision does not help every player and we remain
committed to further improving the situation for upcoming windows and joining
discussions to explain more about the many measures we are putting in place to
reduce the risks of COVID transmission into the community as a result of player
travel," FIFA's statement added.
