FA to announce job losses and budget cuts to help cover £300m financial hole

The FA are set to announce a series of extensive cuts and job losses to cover expected losses of up to £300m due to the pandemic.

Last month, the FA board agreed to cut the governing body's annual budget by £75m in measures which could last for the next four years.

Monday's cuts are expected to impact a number of departments across the organisation, although some budgets – including women's football – are understood to have been ring-fenced.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said earlier this month: "Our loss is going to be anywhere between £100m and £300m, which is massively significant for us, and we’ve taken out extra borrowing so we can spread that loss over four years."

The loss of England matches and other events at Wembley, as well as the FA Cup being staged behind closed doors have contributed to the FA's losses.
