Football Regulator Implementation Unit

We lead Government’s work on the future governance of football. In 2021 the government commissioned a Fan-Led Review of Football Governance to explore ways of improving the sustainability of English football in order to protect vital community assets. The Review was published later that year and highlighted the need for reform.

The Government has since published a White Paper setting out a comprehensive plan to introduce the regulator for English football clubs to put fans back at the heart of football and help to deliver a sustainable future for all clubs. The Football Regulator Implementation Unit is responsible for delivering the reforms set out in the White Paper, including through the Football Governance Bill and setting up the football regulator.

This role will sit within the team responsible for setting up the Football Regulator. These roles are being recruited on a loan or fixed term basis to the end of March 2025, with the possibility to extend. This role will be based in DCMS on an interim basis. Subject to the overall progress of the programme, the intention for this role is to transfer to the Football Regulator once fully established.

Please note that the location of the Football Regulator has yet to be determined.

The government has committed to setting up a regulator for football to improve the financial sustainability of clubs, for the benefit of their fans and the communities they serve.
