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 (FA) formally withdrew its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino's re-election on August 3, reversing its previous backing alongside around 200 FIFA members. This decision stems from Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in a new subsidiary that would own the commercial rights to the World Cup. This development followed a crisis for Infantino on August 2, when UEFA and the FA collectively demanded changes amid an investment backlash. Separately, on July 31, Chelsea avoided a 15-point deduction that would have resulted in relegation from the Premier League. The FA's written reasons document revealed that a 15-point starting deduction was considered appropriate for payments to unregistered agents, but the club's self-reporting and cooperation with the investigation led to the sanction being overturned. Earlier, on July 30, the FA released a statement opposing Infantino's World Cup private investment plan after UEFA announced that its 55 member nations agreed to boycott FIFA competitions unless Infantino abandoned his plans to sell ownership interests in the World Cup to private investors.
