Petition Action

Nationalise Football and Adopt the German 50+1 Rule

Petition Details

The creation of the European Super League intends to take 6 of the inaugural Premier League clubs out of the UK. Football is at the heart of this great nation and this petition proposes that the government nationalise the industry and give the British public control of our once great sport.

Additional Information

Of the 6 PL teams involved 5 are owned by foreign investors who clearly don’t have local interests at heart. They are motivated solely by money with no consideration for native fans, past and current who made it what it is today or, for the grassroots football played all over.

Nationalising, and implementing the 50+1 rule would give ownership of the clubs back to us, it would increase competition and would prevent the dissolution of a fundamentally British part of life. Bring football home.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We're not sure you mean by nationalising football, but you may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/583310

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
