English FA will ban transgender women from women's football from next season
- On Thursday, May 15, 2025, the English Football Association announced it will ban transgender women from playing women's football starting June 1 across all levels in England.
- The ban follows a UK Supreme Court ruling last month that legally defines a woman as someone born biologically female and excludes transgender women from this category.
- The FA updated its policy after previously allowing transgender women to participate if they had reduced testosterone, and the Scottish Football Association announced a similar ban starting next season.
- The FA acknowledged that these changes may be challenging for individuals who wish to participate in the sport according to their gender identity and stated that they are reaching out to registered transgender women players to inform them about the new rules and ongoing opportunities to engage with the game.
- The ruling and ensuing bans have sparked support from some feminist groups and condemnation from trans-rights organizations, which warn of broad detrimental impacts and urge respect and careful legal consideration.
