As a new season gets underway, football fans across the country are being urged to support efforts to eradicate tragedy chanting from the game. Tragedy chanting can land fans in serious trouble, including convictions and banning orders. We don’t want to see football fans criminalised.

Paywalled UCL final: Joint statement from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, fan groups and the FSA.
Following TNT Sport’s decision to keep the Champions League final, taking place on Saturday evening, behind a paywall and unavailable to the British public via free-to-air supporter groups from nine Premier League clubs in Europe this season have issued the following statement – supported by the Prime Minister and FSA.
Statement:

    ‘Football is for the fans. We stand together in support of the tradition of European club competition finals being shown free to air and urge TNT to honour this tradition by making the Champions League final free to watch for millions of fans, as it always has been. This is bigger than any one club or match. This is about putting fans first. There is still time to make the right call’.

FSA response to the news that Real Madrid have finally accepted the death of the European Super League by ending legal action against UEFA.
FSA response to the news that Real Madrid have finally accepted the death of the European Super League by ending legal action against UEFA.

Tom Greatrex, chair of the Football Supporters' Association, said:

"Florentino Pérez's European Zombie League has shambled along dead on its feet for years while Real Madrid and Barcelona tried to pretend it had a future.

"It's taken Pérez almost five years to understand what fans instinctively knew - the European Super League would be widely despised and it was never going to work.

"Let's not forget that six English clubs originally backed the competition as well. Football's top executives must never again try to stitch up things in secret - supporters have to be heard on the big issues."
