Expenditure rises to £564,000 in 2025-26 season

Cost of hosting FA Council meetings also almost doubles
The Football Association spent 25% more on Wembley hospitality and freebies for FA Council members last season, the Guardian can reveal. Latest accounts show expenditure on tickets and hospitality rose from £452,300 in the 2024-25 season to £564,400 in 2025-26.
While fans across the country have staged protests and walkouts in recent years over ticket price rises, and the cost-of-living crisis has made football increasingly unaffordable, the FA has upgraded the hospitality it offers to VIPs. Liverpool scrapped plans to increase ticket prices over three successive seasons following widespread unrest from supporters at the end of last season.
