Chelsea FC: club to establish a six-member "Fan Advisory Board"

Chelsea FC (Premier League) is creating a six-member "Fan Advisory Board" that will meet at least three times a year with the club's board members, announced on 01/03/2023. This initiative is a response to the introduction of the "Fan Engagement Standard" for all 20 Premier League clubs from the 2022-23 season, agreed on 08/11/2022.

The Fan Advisory Board (FAB) is "an initiative to help fulfil our promise to be pioneers in fan engagement. The FAB will engage in discussion, exchange information and share insights on potential decisions that impact Chelsea FC supporters. The focus will be on the club's strategic vision and objectives, as well as medium- and long-term decision making," said the London (ENG) club.

Of the six places proposed, "three places are reserved for our supporter advisors to the board and the club is looking to identify a further three supporters via an open application process." Daniel Finkelstein, a member of the club's board of directors, will be responsible for overseeing the new entity.
