The Football Association (FA) has decided that transgender women will no longer be allowed to compete in women's football in England starting June 1, 2025. This decision comes after a Supreme Court ruling that defined 'woman' and 'sex' in biological terms, prompting legal advice for policy changes. This marks a significant shift from a previous policy allowing participation based on testosterone levels. The ruling has faced criticism from rights groups, and plans for a potential appeal to the European Court of Human Rights are in progress, notably from a former judge.
Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women's football in England, and this policy will be implemented from 1 June 2025.
The Supreme Court's ruling on the 16 April means that we will be changing our policy. We had always been open to reviewing our position.
