This summer we’ve been promoting the women’s game and our Free Lionesses Fans’ Embassy team followed the England team all the way to their win at Wembley on Sunday.
Day One of the EFL provided us with what could very well be the Miss of the Season. If anything tops Michael Obafemi’s effort for Swansea City come May next year it will have been a very entertaining season.
The FSA has been tasked by its membership to look at the growth of cryptocurrency in the game and part of that is educating supporters on the issues that surround it.
It’s been hard not to notice the explosion of cryptocurrency deals across football, as club execs and commercial departments chase football’s latest gold rush.

It’s been a great Euros so far and, ahead of tonight’s England v Sweden clash at Bramall Lane, we catch up with a few of our Fans’ Embassy volunteers (below) to hear how it’s been in and around the stadiums on matchdays.
At the end of last season pitch incursions were all over our screens, occurring in the Premier League, EFL play-offs and in the National League. On a number of occasions we saw managers or players antagonised, or even assaulted, as in the awful case of Billy Sharp.
The FA, Premier League and EFL are together introducing new measures and stronger sanctions across the game to tackle the increased anti-social and criminal behaviours recently seen within football grounds and underline the importance of a safe matchday environment.
Spirit of Football’s unique football – handily called The Ball – has been following our Fans’ Embassy around this summer’s Euro 2022 tournament. So if you’re stopping by our Fans’ Embassy, sign the ball and support Spirit of Football’s work on gender equality and the climate crisis. Spirit of Football director Andrew Aris tells us more…

The Brian Lomax Cup takes place every pre-season and celebrates the role of supporter-owned football clubs. The trophy is named after the founding father of the supporters’ trust movement, who sadly passed away in 2015.
Back in 2020 we launched My Club, My Shirt at Cardiff City – a series of portrait exhibitions celebrating the rich diversity of football fans who follow the game from all walks of life.
