## Key points

- FA decision may force an amateur club to fold
- Club’s proposed local-league move was blocked
- Key details of the ruling are unavailable

## Summary

An amateur football club says it will disband after the Football Association blocked its proposed move to a local league. The decision matters because it could end a community team’s participation in organised football rather than allowing it to continue at a different level.

The available information does not identify the club, the leagues involved or the FA’s reasons for rejecting the move. The case nevertheless highlights how league-placement decisions can have serious consequences for small amateur clubs.
