(Reuters) - Chelsea will create a fan advisory board (FAB) to 'engage in discussion, exchange information and share insights' on matters affecting supporters, the Premier League club said on Wednesday, as they look to step up engagement with fans.

Chelsea said the FAB will be made up of six supporters, with three places reserved for 'Supporter Advisors to the Board' and three places going to supporters selected through an open application process. "The FAB will meet at least three times a year with Chelsea FC board members, with additional senior club executives also in attendance at all meetings."
The regulator would set a minimum standard of 'fan engagement' as part of its licensing regime, including on issues such as name changes, stadium moves and even changes of kit.
