The IREF will operate a licensing system which will apply to the top five tiers of English men’s football.
LONDON: British prime minister Rishi Sunak confirmed plans for an independent football regulator to safeguard the future of English football clubs in his King’s Speech on Tuesday.
A separate government briefing document said the fragility of the English footballing pyramid had been exposed in recent years. More stringent tests will be made on club owners, minimum standards of fan engagement will be introduced and clubs will not be allowed to join breakaway or unlicensed leagues.
English Football League chairman Rick Parry called it a “landmark commitment” that will help ease the threat of supporters losing their clubs altogether. “On the pitch, England football is admired the world over, but it is important that measures are put in place to ensure our national game is fit for the future, which is exactly what the Independent Regulator will do,” Crouch said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
