COMMERCIAL income from gambling sponsorship must be reinvested into infrastructure and programmes which benefit the community and fans under a new code of conduct agreed by the Premier League, EFL, the FA and Women’s Super League.

The code, applicable to football authorities and clubs in the professional game, will be implemented from the start of the new season.

Major national sporting bodies have been required to develop a voluntary arrangement specific to their sport and are designed around the core principles of protection, social responsibility, reinvestment and integrity.
