The Football Association, also known as The FA, a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1863 with an estimated 850 employees and reported $680.3M in revenue as of 2025. It functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The organization's main product is spectator sports, and it serves as the governing body of association football in England.
The Football Association formally withdrew its support for Fifa president Gianni Infantino's re-election on August 3, 2026. The FA, initially among approximately 200 Fifa members backing his bid for a third term, altered its position due to Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in a new subsidiary that would own the World Cup's commercial rights. Previously, on August 2, Infantino faced a crisis as UEFA and the FA demanded change following an investment backlash regarding these plans. Earlier, on July 31, Chelsea avoided a 15-point deduction, which would have relegated them from the Premier League, over payments to unregistered agents; the club reported itself for breaching rules and cooperated with the FA's investigation, leading to the governing body reducing a potential 15-point starting deduction. This followed the FA speaking out against Gianni Infantino's World Cup private investment plan on July 30, after UEFA announced that all 55 member countries agreed to boycott FIFA competitions if the plan to sell ownership interests in the World Cup to private investors proceeded.
