The Football Association has announced an after-tax profit of £16m and invested a record £127m back into the game.

The figures come from the FA's financial results for the year ending July 31, 2017.

Turnover was down to £351m after 2016's £370m - mainly due to the lack of a major senior tournament - while the net debt fell from £174m to £150m.

Martin Glenn, FA chief executive officer, said: "This is another set of strong financial figures for The FA, which has allowed us to invest a record-breaking £127m back into every level of English football.
