Roma’s Financial Fair Play restrictions to be lifted in 2026 | OneFootball

Roma are heading into the final year of major financial restrictions on the market imposed by UEFA.

As evidenced by several news outlets in Italy today, the constraints imposed by the Settlement Agreement with UEFA will officially expire in June 2026.

Until then, the Giallorossi will have to continue to operate with narrow margins, respecting the parameters of Financial Fair Play.

But the horizon is finally starting to clear. From 2026, barring new violations, Roma will exit the sanctions regime that has forced it in recent years to adopt a policy of containment, made up of forced sales and targeted signings, often on a free transfer or with creative formulas involving loans deals.

A necessity rather than a choice, due to the obligations undertaken with UEFA to return to the expected economic parameters.

For the Friedkins, this will be a turning point. Once freed from the restrictions, the American ownership will no longer have any excuses: it will finally be able to build a Roma that lives up to its declared ambitions. More freedom on the market, more room for investment and, consequently, fewer constraints in building a competitive squad for the top of Serie A.
