UEFA announced that PSG are one of eight teams to receive a fine for breaching Financial Fair Play, FFF while five British teams avoided the same fate.
According to Goal.com, UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body, CFCB have released their, FFP overview for the 2021-22 season and eight teams have been fined for breaching the rules.
“Along with those teams, 19 other clubs were only able to meet the governing body’s requirements because of the application of the COVID-19 emergency measures or because of their historical financial results.
“The clubs hit with fines from UEFA are PSG (€65m), AS Roma (€35m), Inter (€26m), Juventus (€23m), AC Milan (€15m), Besiktas (€4m), AS Monaco (€2m) and Marseille (€2m),” the statement reads.
Meanwhile, the 19 clubs who narrowly escaped a fine – and are subsequently being monitored by UEFA – include Barcelona, Chelsea, Dortmund, Lazio, Leicester, Lyon, Manchester City, Napoli, Rangers, Real Betis, Sevilla, West Ham and Wolfsburg.
The COVID-19 emergency measures will be eradicated by UEFA from the financial year 2023 so should those 19 clubs breach FFP again in the same way, they too will have fines to pay.
“It is imperative that the clubs who have been either fined or are on the watchlist this season are not on the CFCB’s list again in 12 months’ time.
“Multiple FFP offences start to bring the risk of bans from UEFA competitions which – given the revenue generated – would introduce even greater financial issues for the clubs,” UEFA said.
