Football Governance Act 2025

The Football Governance Act 2025 establishes a new independent regulator for English football with powers to oversee financial management, ownership structures, and business practices across the professional game. The regulator will have authority to set and enforce standards on issues like financial sustainability, preventing clubs from spending beyond their means, and protecting fan interests. The act aims to prevent future financial collapses of football clubs and address concerns about foreign ownership, while also giving fans greater involvement in club decisions through mandatory consultation requirements.
