Football Governance Reform

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport is implementing football governance reform, including the Football Governance Act and associated regulations, to strengthen intervention powers and establish a framework for matches of national significance. The reform addresses broader questions of sports funding alignment across government departments and the need for a unifying national framework to deliver health, community and economic benefits.
