This page is an archive of briefing papers produced for FSA member groups as the Football Governance Bill was debated in Parliament.
The FSA lobbied for reform in football governance for many years and the Football Governance Act will now implement many of our ideas – including the introduction of an Independent Football Regulator (IFR) and enhanced supporter engagement plans. More on that here.
These papers helped prepare our members as they lobbied MPs and Peers with ideas which looked to make the legislation as strong as possible.
