UK government plans to introduce an independent football regulator through Football Governance Bill to oversee English clubs, promote financial sustainability, and block closed-shop competitions.

The UK government is planning to introduce an independent football regulator through the Football Governance Bill, which will grant powers to a body independent of both government and football authorities to oversee English clubs. The regulator will promote financial sustainability and have the ability to impose fines of up to 10% of a club's turnover for non-compliance. It will also block closed-shop competitions like the European Super League and strengthen tests of suitability for club owners. The legislation aims to put fans at the heart of football governance.
