Barcelona Facing Potential UEFA Sanctions Over Financial Fair Play Breach
Barcelona are once again under the spotlight as UEFA considers imposing significant sanctions following a fresh violation of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, according to a report by The Times.
The Catalan giants were already fined €500,000 last year for inaccurately declaring profits. Now, sources suggest that the club has once again exceeded UEFA’s financial limits — an infraction that could result in harsher penalties.
Sanctions currently on the table include limiting the number of players Barcelona can register for next season’s UEFA Champions League, or even a potential points deduction in the tournament — a move that could dramatically affect their continental campaign.
Other clubs, including Chelsea and Aston Villa, are also being investigated for similar breaches. However, as this is their first offense, they are expected to receive more lenient penalties, likely in the form of fines. Both English clubs are working with UEFA to resolve the financial discrepancies and avoid more severe action.
