Juventus under UEFA investigation for breaching financial fair play | OneFootball

Juventus is being investigated by UEFA for violating financial fair play rules, an infraction for which it has already received a suspension from European competitions for the 2023-24 season, according to documents published by the club on Thursday.

“Regarding the revenue rule parameter, on September 18, as is customary in similar situations for clubs participating in UEFA competitions, Juventus received a communication from UEFA about the opening of proceedings for a possible excess for the three-year period 2022-23 to 2024-25,” Juventus explained.

“The outcome of this procedure is expected in the spring (northern hemisphere) of 2026 and may result in a possible financial sanction (although likely of little significance), as well as possible sporting restrictions (such as, for example, restrictions on registering new players in UEFA competition lists),” the club added.

Within the Rules

In documents sent to shareholders for their general assembly on November 7, the most successful club in Italian football assures that it “has complied with the Squad Cost ratio (salaries and transfer indemnities that must not exceed 70% of revenues) and expects to be able to comply with this parameter also for the 2025 calendar year.”

According to financial fair play rules, the allowed deficit for a club over three years must not exceed 60 million euros (380 million reais), a deficit that rises to 90 million euros (570 million reais) in the same period for a club “in good financial health.”

Juventus recorded losses of 58.1 million (368 million reais) during the 2024-25 season, a notable decrease compared to the 199.2 million euros (1.2 billion reais) lost in the previous fiscal year.

The club, controlled by the Agnelli family through the Exor holding company, was excluded from European competitions in the 2023-24 season due to infractions related to financial fair play.

Before the seventh round of Serie A, this weekend, the Bianconeri, who will face Como on Sunday, are in fourth place, three points behind the leader and current champion Napoli.
