Fan Led Review of Football Governance: interim findings and recommendations

This Independent Review, announced by Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden on 19 April 2021, is a comprehensive examination of the English football system with the aim of exploring ways of improving the governance, ownership and financial sustainability of clubs in the football pyramid, building on the strengths and benefits that our great game already provides the nation.

Following extensive engagement with fans and stakeholders across the whole football community, on which the foundations of this Review have been based, this interim set of findings and recommendations sets out the direction of travel towards the final recommendations. Further substantive work will take place over the coming months to feed into the Review’s final report in the Autumn.
