The Football Licensing Authority (FLA) was an independent public body set up in 1990 under the Football Spectators Act 1989 and funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It existed as an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body of DCMS.
The FLA's mission was to ensure that all spectators regardless of age, gender, ethnic origin, disability, or the team that they support were able to attend sports grounds in safety, comfort and security. Towards this the FLA was charged with ensuring the implementation of certain key recommendations of Lord Justice Taylor's Report concerning safety at football grounds; and in particular to:
Operate a licensing scheme for grounds at which designated football matches are played; Advise the Government on the introduction of all-seated accommodation at international, Premiership and Football League grounds; and Keep under review the discharge by local authorities of their functions under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975.
On 14 October 2010 it was announced that the FLA was one of the 192 quangos to be axed by HM Government, and in 2011 it was transformed into the Sports Grounds Safety Authority.
