Independent Football Regulator Bill Stalled by General Election
The legislative process for the Football Governance Bill halts, delaying the establishment of a regulatory body.
- The Football Governance Bill will not be passed before the upcoming General Election.
- Current parliamentary time constraints make it impossible to debate necessary amendments.
- Both major political parties support the concept of an independent football regulator.
- The bill's delay means the search for a regulator chairperson is also on hold.
- Stakeholders continue to disagree on key aspects, such as financial redistribution among leagues.
