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.
On September 15, 2026, leaders from The Football Association (FA), alongside UEFA, Lidl, and Deloitte, will convene at Brentford FC for the SPX Purpose League summit to develop the business case for purpose-led sponsorship. This follows the FA's formal withdrawal of support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino's re-election bid on August 3, changing its stance after initially backing his third-term bid. The FA's decision came in light of Infantino's proposal to sell stakes in a new subsidiary holding commercial rights to the World Cup. Previously, on July 31, it was revealed that Chelsea avoided a 15-point deduction by the FA, which would have resulted in their relegation from the Premier League. The governing body had deemed a "starting point of 15 points" appropriate for payments to unregistered agents before factoring in Chelsea's self-reporting and cooperation with the investigation. Earlier, on July 30, the FA released a statement opposing Infantino's World Cup private investment plan, following UEFA's announcement that all 55 member countries threatened to boycott FIFA competitions unless the plan was abandoned.
