Kogan endorsed to chair football regulator but urged to act ‘impartially’
Screen grab of David Kogan, the government's preferred candidate for the Chair of the Independent Football Regulator, at the House of Commons, London, May 7, 2025

DAVID KOGAN has been endorsed to chair football’s independent regulator by a select committee of MPs but has been urged to take “concrete steps” to demonstrate he will act impartially.
