Football clubs are the heart of local communities, they have unique social value and many also have a great history. It is vital they are protected and I continue to engage in regular discussions with stakeholders across football, as they tackle the most immediate challenges of the pandemic.

The Government is committed to undertaking a fan-led review of football governance and is currently considering the scope and structure of the review.
