Ebbsfleet United Football Club
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions officials in her Department have had with the Football Association, the National League, and the Independent Football Regulator regarding the role of Abdulla Al-Humaidi during the ongoing sale of Ebbsfleet United FC.
- Answer
-
Our thoughts are with Ebbsfleet United’s fans and the wider community, none of whom are responsible for the club’s current situation.
My officials are closely monitoring events which continue to move at pace – but it would be wrong to intervene further while the change of ownership is an ongoing matter for the National League, who are making regular statements. The National League South sits outside the remit of the Independent Football Regulator (IFR).
We would like to see stability brought back quickly.
