The move would weaken the powers of the Premier League and other leagues and the Football Association to govern the game themselves and introduce a series of new regulations

Tracey Crouch, a lawmaker in Britain’s parliament, conducted what she called a “fan-led review” with experts looking into problems in the game following fan protests over lower league clubs going into administration and controversial plans from the top clubs like the proposed breakaway European Super League.

“This would operate a licensing system for professional men’s football. The licensing conditions should focus upon measures to ensure financial sustainability via financial regulation … and improving decision making at clubs through items such as a new corporate governance code for professional football clubs, improved diversity and better supporter engagement,” she added.

FIFA’s rules for all Football Associations state that they must be free of any government or political interference but the report says any conflict with those rules could be avoided by the regulator’s board being appointed by a panel of experts rather than directly by government. Julian Knight, head of parliament’s sports watchdog body, the Department of Culture Media and Sports Select Committee, said swift government action was now needed.
