English regulator to start working this year

July 22 -The British government has confirmed the creation of Independent Football Regulators (IFR) after the Football Governance Law received royal approval on Monday, completing its journey into law.

The regulator will start working later this year, bringing the level of supervision and new control to the top five levels of the professional game of men in the UK. The mandate is to ensure that the club is carried out financially on a sustainable, making them more responsible to fans, and placing the owner and director through a legal test designed to prevent management errors.

The road to this point was paved by a review led by fans in 2021, founded after a series of financial collapse-led by Bury and MacClesfield-and public protests that followed efforts to fail to form the European Super League that separated. The message from fans is clear: enough is enough.

The Department of Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS) marks this step as “important moments for games” and “the biggest reform for football government in one generation.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a football fan for a lifetime of his own life, did not hold back.

“This is a proud and decisive moment for English football,” he said.

As someone who has loved the game throughout my life, I know how deep he flows through our community. This is where memories are made, and generations gather. The Football Governance Law we give our promises to fans. This will protect the club they appreciate, and the vital role they play in our economy. Through our plan for change ‘, we are ushering in ushering, and a strong role in our future. Through our plan for change ‘, we are ushering in ushering in A Longer, We Love for us.

The regulator will uphold the minimum standard for fans’ involvement in the decision of the main club and will have the authority to prohibit clubs from joining a closed shop or league competition. In addition, it will make a ‘backstop power’ to intervene if a fair financial distribution between the league cannot be agreed upon voluntarily.

In addition, he will have the ability to protect important elements from the club’s legacy, such as the location of the stadium, the color of the team, and club badge.

Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sports, refers to the historic role of fans: “Football clubs have been built and supported by fans for several generations, but too often they have no place to switch when their clubs have faced a crisis. Today which changes because this action will provide hope and guarantees to people, with regulations working to protect clubs in cities and cities will provide hope and guarantees to people, with regulators to protect the clubs in cities and cities in cities and cities in cities and cities in the city and cities. the whole country.

The Football Support Association (FSA), which played a role in encouraging reforms, welcomed the news.

“This is a historical moment for football in this country,” said Executive Chief Kevin Miles.

“We are very proud that FSA is the heart of change, helping to bring laws that can help protect the club that we like from the strengths of the worst owners in all professional games.”

However, UEFA expressed concern last September that regulators could mean government intervention, potentially violating FA autonomy and violating the rules of European football governance itself.

Apart from the warning, the British government has continued to advance, positioning the regulator as a protection needed to protect the future of the club, fans, and financial integrity of long -term games.
