An FA board meeting will next week decide the budget and strategy for international development, with high-profile relationships with Malawi, Lesotho and Botswana under threat.

The FA decided to review their international projects after the 2018 debacle last year where England won just two FIFA votes - one of those from English vice-president Geoff Thompson.

Walter Nyamilandu, head of the Football Association of Malawi, said all the FA assistance had been cancelled.

He told the Nation newspaper: "They [England] are saying that they are reviewing their support towards development of football in the light of the poor support they received during the 2018 World Cup bid.

"According to the FA, they took the decision because they felt FIFA was not recognising the support they were giving to the game of football. Their services are greatly missed."

Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville and David James have all visited Malawi on behalf of the FA to boost development projects, England manager Fabio Capello has been to Lesotho, while Paul Gascoigne was part of an FA visit to Botswana.

Meanwhile, former FA chairman Lord Triesman will tomorrow give evidence to MPs on England's 2018 bid.

Triesman was forced to step down as FA and bid chairman a year ago after taped conversations about the bid were reported in a Sunday newspaper.

He will give evidence before the Commons' culture, media and sport committee and is expected to be asked about claims that one FIFA member demanded a knighthood, and that FIFA vice-president Jack Warner asked England to build an education centre in Trinidad.

Mike Lee, the London-based public relations consultant who worked on Qatar's successful 2022 World Cup bid, is also giving evidence to the committee tomorrow.
