MAN CITY FACING BAN


14/05/19


Manchester City are facing a ban from European competition for allegedly breaking UEFA’s financial fair play rules.

UEFA have been investigating hacked emails, which appear to show City inflated sponsorship income. City deny any wrongdoing and say accusations of financial irregularities are entirely false.

They have welcomed UEFA’s investigation and declared it “an opportunity to bring an end to the speculation resulting from the illegal hacking and out of context publication of emails”.

If they are found guilty of breaking FFP rules, UEFA’s adjudicatory chamber has the power to ban City from the Champions League. City would have the right to appeal to UEFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
