House of Commons

The Football Governance Bill would set up an Independent Football Regulator to oversee how football is run and to licence football clubs. It also covers how revenue from organisers of football competitions should be distributed, with related provisions to support good governance and financial stability in the sport.
The bill is currently at Committee Stage in the House of Commons, where MPs examine detailed clauses and amendments. After this stage, it would typically move to Report Stage and Third Reading in the Commons, before advancing to the Lords.
