FA chairman to give evidence at parliamentary hearing

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke will provide evidence to MPs at a parliamentary hearing regarding the organisation's backing for Michel Platini.

The FA have stood by their decision to back the UEFA boss, despite the Frenchman being provisionally banned from football activity for the next 90 days.

Dyke will join FIFA sponsors and the Serious Fraud Office in giving evidence, while FIFA's head of independent audit and compliance committee, Domenico Scala, is also due to appear at the two-day meeting.

The select committee hearing is scheduled to take place on October 27 and 28.
