Football Governance
Licence-readying during the 2026/27 season.
The Football Governance Act 2025 puts every club in the top five tiers under the Independent Football Regulator. We train boards and map governance gaps before the licence application does it for you.
We publish IFR Hub, a free guide to the regime written in plain English: what the regulator wants, the timeline, and what a board needs to evidence. It is a Fideo Global site, and it is the best place to start.

The Football Governance Executive Course.
A practical, in-depth programme built for the people who now carry real regulatory responsibility.
The Football Governance Act 2025 and the new Independent Football Regulator have reshaped what English clubs must do: licensing, financial planning, owner and director fitness, fan engagement and heritage protection. This course translates all of it into what it means in your boardroom, and what to do about it.
Delivered by Fideo Global in partnership with the Liverpool Management School, Centre for Sports Business (home of the world-famous Football Industries MBA), it pairs hands-on regulatory and boardroom experience with genuine academic depth. You will leave understanding not just the letter of the regime, but how to build the governance, evidence and culture that hold up when the regulator looks: turning compliance from a cost into a competitive advantage.
