Shocking footage has emerged of two England youth players brawling during an international camp – while their team-mates egg them on and stand around filming.
The video features two youngsters from a youth team.
Daily Mail Sport understands that the scrap began after one of the players was teased for having a Nokia mobile phone.
One of them appears to be the aggressor in the footage, being encouraged by team-mates to ‘f*** him up’ as he grabs the other and pushes him onto a hotel bed with his hand around his neck.
The youth holds his team-mate in that position for a couple of seconds as others get in closer to film him in the vulnerable position.
He then starts punching his team-mate but the other then kicks him off the bed and the pair continue fighting.

The fight spills onto the floor, with one holding the other against the wall and putting him in a headlock. A player is heard screaming, but it is unclear who.
At that point, the initiator lets up before being told to ‘carry on, man’. He then shoves the other boy onto the bed and is again told to ‘f*** him up’.
In the background, team-mates are told to ‘shut the door’ multiple times. They then get out of the way and laugh as the brawl continues.
Throughout the scene, the players remain dressed in their England kits.
The episode raises concerns about the safeguarding of youngsters on England duty.
Daily Mail Sport was told by the FA: ‘We were made aware of an internal matter during an MU16s camp in October 2025.
‘This was quickly resolved at the time.’
Daily Mail Sport has also contacted the clubs of the respective players but has not heard back.
Mobile phones are seen as divisive, distracting and a risk to mental health by both schools and football teams.
Some football managers – including Pep Guardiola and Erik ten Hag when they were in Manchester – have banned them to improve their players’ focus.
