It is a de facto ban for transgender women from football more generally, realistically, particularly people who have been playing in women's football for decades."

BBC Sport spoke to Natalie Washington, campaign lead for Football v Transphobia, and former swimmer and campaigner Sharron Davies to get their views on the ban.
