Petition Action

FFP rules in English football are anti competitive and should be scrapped

Petition Details

I would like parliament to look into the protectionist nature of FFP and debate wether this is anti competitive. I believe it is and therefore reduces competition in on of our most respected worldwide exports.

Additional Information

I would like parliament to advise the FA that it’s ‘fair play’ rules are nothing of the sort and that it must allow competition to thrive.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about the Financial Fair Play Regulations are a matter for UEFA, not the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government has announced plans to create a new independent regulator for men's professional football, which will have powers in relation to the financial sustainability of football clubs. You can find out more about these plans here: researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-9255/CBP-9255.pdf
