England U16 player fight was resolved quickly - FA

What the report says

BBC Sport reported that the Football Association has said a fight involving two England Under-16 players at a team camp in Turkey stemmed from an “internal matter” and was dealt with at the time. The incident came to wider attention through an online video that the BBC said was filmed during an England age-group camp in late 2025.

According to the BBC’s account, the clip shows two boys in a hotel room, with others present recording and encouraging the confrontation. The footage reportedly begins with one player in England kit taking or trying to take a phone from another player, before the pair wrestle and exchange blows. The FA told BBC Sport it had been made aware of the matter during an Under-16 camp in October 2025, that it was resolved quickly, and that no further action will be taken.

The BBC said the England Under-16 squad were in Sedi while playing fixtures against Turkey, Wales and Portugal in October and November 2025. The article also identifies Barry Lewtas as the England Under-16 coach, via its image caption, though it does not report that he was directly involved in the incident or response.

The episode matters because it concerns players in a national youth setup, where conduct, supervision and welfare are sensitive issues given the age of those involved. Based on the published report, the FA’s position is that the matter was internal, settled at the time and is now closed.
