Speaking at the FFF’s winter meeting in Paris, Treasurer Lionel Boland said it was mainly helped by holding the Europa League final in Lyon as well as other sources. “It takes into consideration the cash-flow from hosting the Europa League final. It’s explained by a big increase in tickets and hospitality sales, income from sponsorship partners and television rights.”
