RFL under pressure to produce rugby league action plan to avoid funding cuts
The Rugby Football League (RFL) is facing pressure from Sport England to produce an action plan to comply with the Code for Sports Governance and avoid potential funding cuts. Sport England, which provides £16 million in funding to the RFL, has threatened to withhold the next instalment of this funding package due to concerns over the RFL's governance. The RFL has been asked to provide a timeline on the exits of its board members, as part of the effort to address these governance issues. The release of the critical funding for the sport, scheduled for next month, remains uncertain pending the RFL's response to Sport England's demands.
