As reported by The Telegraph, The FA plans to ring-fence funds for women’s football despite a £300m budget cut for the next four-year investment cycle.

With Wembley Stadium out of action for matches during the lockdown, this has contributed to such a shortfall in projected income.

However, the women’s and grassroots games are apparently to be protected from any funding reductions, even though £75m could be lost from the FA’s annual budget.

Other areas look set to bare the burden of the cuts for the four-year period ending 2024.
