The FA Board has unanimously agreed for Debbie Hewitt MBE to be reappointed as Independent Non-Executive Chair of The FA for a second three-year term, from January 2025 through to January 2028.

The decision is subject to FA Shareholder ratification, which will be sought at the 2025 AGM in May.

Debbie was first appointed as FA Chair in January 2022 on an initial three-year term and she was the unanimous choice of a seven-member selection panel.

During her time as Chair, Debbie has had a transformative impact on our governance structure, including introducing extensive reforms to the FA Board and FA Council to ensure they can better serve the modern game, as well as working with stakeholders to improve the governance structures that support the women’s game.
