The Government have confirmed plans to introduce a new independent regulator following recommendations from a fan-led review on football governance launched back in 2021.
A new independent regulator will be established in law to oversee the financial sustainability of the game, the Government confirmed on Wednesday. The regulator will implement a new licensing system, requiring clubs to demonstrate sound financial business models and good corporate governance as part of an application process before they are allowed to compete.
The plans aim to give fans a greater say in the running of their clubs and help to stop owners changing names, badges and home shirt colours without consulting fans. It will also require clubs to seek regulator approval for any sale or relocation of the stadium.
