amateur and professional levels of the sport. The abuse can occur within football clubs, academies, or other football-related organisations, and may involve coaches, staff members, or other individuals in positions of authority. Several high-profile cases have brought attention to the issue and led to investigations, legal actions, and calls for better safeguarding measures within football. </p><p>Football governing bodies, such as <a href="/wiki/FIFA" title="FIFA">FIFA</a> and national <a href="/wiki/Football_association" title="Football association">football associations</a>, have implemented various measures to protect young participants. These measures include enhanced background checks for coaches and staff, the establishment of clear codes of conduct and reporting mechanisms, and mandatory safeguarding training for those involved in youth football.
