- Beefed-up regulations approved by top flight’s clubs
- Prospective directors can be blocked if under investigation
Individuals found to have committed human rights abuses will be unable to be an owner or director of a Premier League club under new rules approved by the English top flight on Thursday.
Human rights abuses, based on the Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020, will be one of a number of additional “disqualifying events” under a beefed-up owners’ and directors’ test.
