David Sullivan banned from West Ham women's and youth teams since 2023

David Sullivan, co-owner of West Ham United, has been banned from contacting the club's women's and youth teams due to safeguarding concerns. The Football Association opened an investigation in 2023 following allegations about Sullivan's conduct. As a result, he has been restricted from attending matches and engaging with these teams for three years. Sullivan, who recently resigned as co-chair, denies wrongdoing and claims the allegations against him are false. The club and FA have stated they maintain robust safeguarding measures but cannot comment on specific cases.
