Welcome to the Fan Advisory Board election.

Voting opens on 2 September 2026 and closes at 12pm on 10 September 2026.

The successful candidates will be announced on 11 September 2026.

Why are we holding an election?

As the next phase of the Fan Advisory Board begins, supporters can elect representatives who will help ensure the views of our fanbase continue to be heard and reflected in discussions with the club.

Eligibility

To vote, you must:

Have a MySaints account created before 19 May 2026.
Vote before 12pm on 10 September 2026.
Submit one vote only.

How the Election Works

The candidates below have been grouped into four categories.

To submit a valid vote, you must select one candidate from each category. This is intended to help ensure the FAB includes a broad range of skills, experiences and supporter perspectives.

All candidates have been through an independent recruitment process. Applications were shortlisted by the Football Supporters' Association (FSA), with shortlisted candidates then interviewed by a panel consisting of:

An independent representative
A representative from the Football Supporters' Association
A Southampton FC representative

We encourage you to read each candidate profile carefully before making your selections.

Appointed Representatives

In addition to the elected positions, there are four appointed FAB representatives, whose details can be found at the bottom of this page.

To help ensure the FAB reflects the breadth and diversity of our supporter base as far as possible, these representatives have been appointed directly following the recruitment process to bring perspectives that are not otherwise represented within the election categories.

As a result, these individuals will join the FAB automatically and are not part of the supporter vote.

Length of Term

Elected representatives will serve a two-year term
Appointed representatives will serve a one-year term

At the end of their term, all representatives will be able to apply again. Future FAB positions will be filled through a combination of elections and recruitment processes.

The differing term lengths have been designed to ensure there are regular opportunities for new supporters to become involved in the FAB, while also maintaining continuity and retaining experience within the group.

This approach allows us to establish a Fan Advisory Board that reflects a wide range of supporter voices from the outset, while ensuring supporters continue to play a central role in shaping its membership in the years ahead.
