The UK has enacted an independent football regulator through the Football Governance Act, which provides fans a greater role in the management of their clubs. This legislation introduces a watchdog for the top five tiers of men's football, ensuring sustainable club operation and accountability to supporters. The regulator can impose financial settlements between the English Football League and Premier League if necessary. The House of Commons endorsed this initiative, marking a significant development in English football, as stated by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
An independent football regulator has been signed into UK law after the Football Governance Act received royal assent, giving fans a greater say in how their clubs are run.
The Act introduces a football watchdog for the top five tiers of the men's game to ensure clubs are run sustainably and are accountable to their fans.
The regulator will also have backstop powers to impose a financial settlement between the English Football League (EFL) and the Premier League if they cannot agree one themselves.
This is a proud and defining moment for English football, said Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
