The Football Governance executive course.

The Football Governance Executive Course is a practical, in-depth programme built for the people who now carry real regulatory responsibility: club chairs and owners, chief executives, finance directors, non-executive directors, and the senior managers the IFR's fitness regime covers. The Football Governance Act 2025 and the new Independent Football Regulator have reshaped what English clubs must do — from licensing and financial planning to owner and director fitness, fan engagement and heritage protection — and 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 University of Liverpool Management School, home of the renowned Football Industries MBA, it pairs hands-on regulatory and boardroom experience with genuine academic depth. You'll 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.
