As football's regulatory framework continues to develop, a memorandum of understanding ("MoU") published last month outlines how the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the Independent Football Regulator ("IFR") propose to cooperate and share information.

Football and finance are inextricably linked.  As the business of football becomes increasingly tightly regulated, the IFR and FCA have recognised that they will each hold information that is relevant to the other's regulatory remit.

For details of the MoU and its implications for clubs and individuals, see our client briefing.
