The Football (Offences) (Designation of Football Matches) (Amendment) Order 2025, effective September 5th, 2025, updates the Football (Offences) (Designation of Football Matches) Order 2004.

It replaces outdated league names—Football Conference with National League, Football Association Women’s Super League with Women’s Super League, Football Association Women’s Championship with Women’s Super League 2, and Welsh Premier League with Cymru Premier—to ensure accurate designation of football matches under the Football (Offences) Act 1991 for the purposes of preventing disorderly conduct.

The amendment ensures that such compensation payments do not impact the individuals' National Insurance liability.
