📢 Dozens of MPs gathered in Westminster this week to support the National League’s popular #3UP campaign.

Politicians from all parties unified behind the campaign to call on the EFL to facilitate an urgent change to its rules and #PutFootballFirst

[Mark Whittle @markwhittle77]

Second ‘deadline day’ of the week. Today, the EFL Board meet and will discuss matters crucial to the future of the National League, namely #3UP.

I’ve run the 3UP campaign for the @NL_Enterprise over the last year. Thanks to all for their support. Let’s hope there’s progress soon

[Enterprise National League @NL_Enterprise]

The #3UP campaign launched a year ago today - a call to fix a long-standing imbalance in English football.

Backed by clubs, supported by fans, debated in Parliament.

🗳️ With key meetings ahead, it could be a big few weeks. Here's how we got here, and all we've achieved so far👇

National League promotion to EFL being talked about again. https://t.co/CkBvDUeegF

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

The 'indefensible' injustice that could stop York City, Rochdale or Carlisle United being promoted. And the new developments which give hope to the National League's high flyers. #yorkcityfc #rafc #cufc Report: https://t.co/SOllDMJdHD

[Marc Webber @marcwebber]

It’s got a 15,000-strong petition and Prime Ministerial backing.
So why is the quest for three promotion places to the English Football League stuck in a rut?
It’s a question I ask on page 34-36 of the latest edition of @fcbusiness magazine. #3Up

[Enterprise National League @NL_Enterprise]

A survey conducted by @WeAreTheFSA has shown overwhelming support for three up, three down 🗣️

93% of fans surveyed agree in principle to three up, three down with 87% surveyed believing it should be in place for the 2025/2026 season 👇

Thanks for all the support so far @JonathanBrash

[Jonathan Brash MP @JonathanBrash]

After I led a debate on this in the House of Commons last week, this is a small breakthrough. Now we need to convince them to agree! It’s time for 3UP.

💬 "This would not be a radical restructuring of football; it would be a straightforward reform to make the system fairer, more competitive and more sustainable."

Another significant milestone in the #3UP push as @JonathanBrash secured a Adjournment Debate in Parliament 📰

I’d like to pass on my condolences to Grant’s family, friends and all his professional colleagues at this difficult time. His contribution to the development of football in the United States has been absolutely immense over the years. RIP

[D.C. United @dcunited]

It is impossible to measure the impact Grant Wahl had on soccer in the United States.

Not only was he a passionate and dedicated champion of our game, but he was a kind and thoughtful person.

The club send our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

[The Football Writers' Association @theofficialfwa]

A tribute to Grant Wahl, a friend and colleague for so many FWA members, who passed away suddenly while covering the Argentina v Netherlands game last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with Grant's family and friends. https://t.co/Hc6jXZEMoA

[Angel City FC @weareangelcity]

We are devasted by this news. Grant Wahl's contribution to the soccer community, especially women's soccer, cannot be measured. The beautiful game is better because of him. Grant will be incredibly missed.
