National League Pushes for Third Promotion Spot to English Football League

The '3UP' campaign seeks to align promotion rules with other football divisions, citing fairness and financial sustainability.

The National League has launched the '3UP' campaign, advocating for three promotion spots to League Two, up from the current two.
All 72 National League clubs, including those in the North and South divisions, unanimously support the proposal and have requested a vote at the EFL's June AGM.
Proponents argue the change would create parity with other divisions, enhance financial stability, and support the goals of the upcoming Independent Football Regulator.
The EFL has expressed willingness to consider the proposal but insists any changes must be part of broader financial reforms involving the Premier League and the regulator.
Supporters point to success stories like Wrexham and Luton Town as evidence of the transformative potential of increased promotion opportunities.
