Football Stewarding Qualification

The Football Stewarding Qualification (or FSQ for short) is a qualification that all stewards at a designated football ground must gain while they are working. This is to ensure the safety of spectators who come to a football game and to avoid repeats of incidents like Hillsbourgh and the Bradford Fire.

Current issues
Although the FSQ is still accepted as an acceptable qualification to steward at football grounds it has now been replaced by the NVQ Level 2 Spectator Control qualification which all new stewards starting training will work towards.
