The attempt to create a breakaway European Super League was a defining moment in English football and was universally condemned by fans, clubs, and the Government.

We took decisive action at the time by triggering the fan-led review of football governance, which called for the creation of a new independent regulator for English football.

We will shortly be bringing forward legislation that makes this a reality, establishing an independent regulator that can stop clubs from joining any similar breakaway competitions in the future.
