The appointments came a day after the FA was accused by one of its board members of "letting down so many black and ethnic minority people" after setting up an all-white commission.
London: England coach Roy Hodgson and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand have agreed to join the Football Association's commission to improve the state of English football.
The appointments came a day after the FA was accused by one of its board members of "letting down so many black and ethnic minority people" after setting up an all-white commission.
FA chairman Greg Dykes said the body had been in touch with Ferdinand for some time but needed to make sure he had enough time to participate in the debate.
On Saturday, board member Heather Rabbatts, who was born in Jamaica and is of mixed race, criticized the lack of diversity on the commission.
