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

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.

More details

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

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

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: https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-9255/CBP-9255.pdf

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
