Former Wales captain Ashley Williams has been cleared of an FA charge that accused him of improper conduct and violent, threatening behaviour at a kids football match.
BBC pundit Williams, 38, was charged last month following the altercation in the abandoned East Manchester Junior Football League match between Corinthians and his son's side TSC.
The alleged incident, the aftermath of which was captured on video camera, is said to have been sparked by a clash between players on the pitch, with Williams then becoming involved with another adult.
But the FA has now ruled the charge "unproven".
A spokesperson for the FA said: "A Disciplinary Commission of The FA has found a charge against Ashley Williams for an alleged breach of FA Rule E3 to be not proven.
"It was alleged that Ashley Williams’ conduct at a grassroots football match in Manchester last month was improper, and that his behaviour included violent conduct and/or threatening and/or abusive language, and Manchester FA charged him with a breach of FA Rule E3 after a full investigation.
"Ashley Williams denied the charge and requested a personal hearing where the Disciplinary Commission subsequently found the charge to be not proven. Its written reasons for this decision will be published in due course.
A spokesperson for Williams said at the time: "Ashley had been assaulted and was defending himself. We have 45 witnesses – including people associated with the two teams who were about to use the pitch - who will back up our version of events and we will defend Ashley vigorously." He attended the hearing in person.
