US EditionEnglish FA will ban transgender women from women's football from next season
- The English Football Association announced on Thursday that it will ban transgender women from playing in women's football teams from June 1, 2025.
- This decision follows a recent ruling by the UK Supreme Court that, for the purposes of anti-discrimination law, defines a woman as someone who is biologically female at birth.
- The FA stated its previous policy allowed transgender women to play if they met testosterone limits, but it will revise this in line with legal changes and grassroots football operations.
- The FA acknowledged that these changes may be challenging for individuals who wish to participate in the sport according to their gender identity and are reaching out to registered transgender players to discuss the new policies and ways they can remain involved in football.
- The ban impacts all levels of women's football in England, reflecting a wider shift as similar rules were adopted by the Scottish FA and other sports bodies balancing inclusivity and fairness.
