Nottingham Forest among four Premier League clubs fined by UEFA | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest are among four Premier League clubs fined by UEFA for breaching financial sustainability rules during the 2025-26 season, and must pay 2.5 million euros (£2.2 million).

UEFA said in a statement that its Club Financial Control Body First Chamber found nine clubs, including the four English sides, exceeded the 70 per cent squad cost ratio for the 2025 calendar year.

Aston Villa were fined 22.5 million euros (£19.4 million), with 15 million euros (£12.9 million) suspended pending continued compliance over a three-year period that began with an initial fine in July last year. Villa will also face a restriction on registering new players for next season’s Champions League.

Chelsea were fined 3 million euros (£2.6 million), of which 2 million euros (£1.7 million) is suspended. Newcastle United were sanctioned 3 million euros (£2.6 million).

The ruling also named OGC Nice, RC Strasbourg, AEK Athens, ACF Fiorentina and Fenerbahçe among the clubs in breach. Fines were calculated in proportion to the percentage points above the limit and the size of each squad cost excess.
