Juventus and Fiorentina are among the clubs facing penalties from UEFA due to violations of financial sustainability regulations. The assessment, conducted by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB), covered clubs participating in the 2025/26 European competitions.
According to reports, Juventus was found to have broken the “football earnings rule.” This rule limits the aggregate deficit over the three financial years leading up to the monitoring period (ending in 2023, 2024, and 2025) to a maximum of €60 million, with this being the first assessment on a three-year aggregate basis.
Consequently, Juventus has entered into a three-year settlement agreement with the CFCB, a similar agreement also being made by Newcastle United.
UEFA has imposed a total fine of €20 million on Juventus, with €14 million of this amount being conditional. If the club adheres to the terms of the agreement, only €6 million will need to be paid.
The agreement also mandates that Juventus meet intermediate targets and fully comply with financial parameters by the conclusion of the settlement period. Failure to meet these targets could lead to restrictions on registering new players for UEFA squad lists, and in the most severe cases, exclusion from European competitions.
Fiorentina Fined €6m for Squad Cost Breach Amidst Juventus Sanctions
Fiorentina, on the other hand, has been ordered to pay a €6 million fine for exceeding the permitted squad cost-to-revenue ratio, which is set at 70%. The penalties are proportionate to the extent of the overspending.
These two clubs are not alone in facing disciplinary actions. UEFA confirmed that a total of 14 clubs have been subject to disciplinary measures.
Other clubs sanctioned for contravening financial sustainability requirements include Aston Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Nice, Strasbourg, AEK Athens, and Fenerbahçe.
