English football clubs who signed a charter to improve diversity in their organisations have failed to meet six of their eight targets over the year to 31 July, with appointments in senior leadership positions declining, the Football Association has revealed.
Results from the second year of the FA’s leadership diversity code show a step change in representation has not been achieved, despite an increased focus on equality by players and organising bodies. Roughly a third of men’s clubs in the top four divisions are yet to sign up to the charter.
