The Department for International Trade (DIT) works to raise the profile of the UK\u2019s world leading sports industries, organisations and leagues across the globe. The announcement of Los Angeles as host of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the successful \u2018United\u2019 bid of the United States, Canada and Mexico to host the 2026 FIFA Football World Cup present opportunities for UK expertise in major sporting events. DIT will actively promote relevant opportunities arising from these events to UK businesses and organisations as they pursue opportunities in the sports economy sector internationally.<\/p>

Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU, the UK will be free to negotiate, sign, and ratify FTAs during the Implementation Period.<\/p>
<\/p>
During the Backstop, if it were ever to come into effect, we would be free to operate our own independent trade policy, including by negotiating our own FTAs, and implementing the areas that don\u2019t affect the functioning of the backstop - including services and investment.<\/p>
<\/p>
As agreed in the Political Declaration, the UK\u2019s future relationship with the EU must recognise the development of an independent UK trade policy.
