FFF: record €348m provisional budget for 2026-27, including €26m linked to 2026 World Cup

A record provisional budget of €348m, including €322m in current revenue and €26m in exceptional revenue linked to the 2026 World Cup, to meet expenditure for a balanced result, was presented by the executive committee of the Fédération Française de Football (FFF), its president Philippe Diallo announced on 16/04/2026.

The budget, which is subject to approval at the general assembly to be held on 06/06 (in Ajaccio), is the first above €300m, after an expected €299m result (including €3m in exceptional revenue) for 2025-26. The €26m linked to the World Cup is based on a scenario in which the French national team reaches the quarter-finals of the competition.

The federation’s revenue is up 20% compared with 2023-24 (€289m), while current revenue increases by 14% over the period. This growth is notably driven by partnership revenue, which reaches €161m in 2026-27. "This figure is mainly supported by the new Nike contract, but also by six new partnerships, including the most recent with Google, and seven renewals or upgrades since 2023-24," Philippe Diallo added.
