FA chair Debbie Hewitt will stand against Irish Football Association president David Martin for the British vice-presidency role on world governing body Fifa in April.

The place is historically allocated to one of the four British associations.

The FA believe they need a voice at the most senior administrative table in the game.

Martin defeated FA of Wales president Kieran O'Connor and Scottish FA vice-president Mike Mulraney in a three-way contest for the role two years ago.

Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin will be re-elected unopposed.
