FA Bans Pitch Walls
Vigar Death Prompts FA Rule Change
Football pitches are getting safer. The FA has banned solid perimeter walls following a safety review prompted by the tragic death of former Arsenal youth player Billy Vigar. The 21-year-old suffered a severe brain injury during a match for Chichester City against Wingate and Finchley FC in September 2025. This move aims to prevent future incidents.
