Soccer fans petition UK government for 51% ownership of all professional clubs
CGTN Europe • 2m 22s
The UK government will consider a debate in the House of Commons over a petition to force all professional soccer clubs to be majority-owned by their supporters.
Branded the "50+1 rule," campaigners are asking the government to ensure decisions made about the clubs "prioritize fans and the good of the game" before financial gain. A petition launched on April 23 has already gained 100,000 signatures, which means it will automatically be considered for debate.
