- Fans’ groups fear clubs seeking to cash in on global appeal
- Football governance bill could prevent overseas matches
The government is ready to back plans to add provisions to the football governance bill that would prevent the Premier League and EFL from staging competitive matches abroad.
The move would be welcomed by fans’ groups, who are concerned that clubs will seek to cash in on their global popularity by moving games overseas in a radical break with tradition expected to be approved by Fifa this year.
