Football clubs are the heart of local communities, they have unique social value and many with a great history. It is vital they are protected which is why the government has given as much support as possible to support football clubs during these difficult times.

The government is committed to setting up a fan led review of football governance at an appropriate time, which will include consideration of the Owners’ and Directors’ test. We will continue to liaise closely with the football authorities as we develop the scope and structure of the review.
