The Football Association (FA) has announced a ban on transgender women participating in women’s football from 1 June 2025, following a Supreme Court decision that defines women as biological females. This significant policy reversal comes just a month after the FA permitted transgender women to play under specific testosterone regulations. The decision also follows similar action by the Scottish Football Association. The FA stated that the change is a response to legal advice and underscores their ongoing commitment to adhering to laws and ensuring inclusivity within football's governing policies.
