London Stadium expressed concerns about not being informed of safeguarding restrictions on David Sullivan, the co-owner of West Ham United. The Football Association began a safeguarding investigation in 2023 after allegations of misconduct emerged against Sullivan. A safeguarding group subsequently restricted Sullivan's access to West Ham's youth and women's teams. Neither the women's team nor the Women's Super League were aware of these restrictions. Sullivan denies all claims and asserts that the restrictions do not impact his work with the club.
