JAKARTA - Members of Parliament approved the formation of professional football regulators under the United Kingdom Football Governance Bill which will grant operational licenses to clubs.

This bill will be passed into law after receiving 415 votes compared to 98 (317 majority) in the People's Council.

Britain's Minister of Culture, Lisa Eva Nandy, said the bill, which will form regulators for the Premier League and English Football League (EFL/operator Championship, League One, and League Two), was designed to ensure clubs operate sustainably in an effort to prevent teams from going out of business.

"We promise in our manifest that we will end years of inactivity and make changes that supporters have long fought for and are urgently needed."

"I am proud to be part of the winning team that has returned our fans to the field, at the heart of the game, where they should be."

"This is for Macclesfield, for Wigan, for Bury, for Bolton, for Derby, for Reading, for Sheffield Wednesday, for Morecambe, and for many, many more have to bear the suffering because they are not prioritized, even though they should be prioritized," said Nandy.
