US EditionBarcelona Risk Uefa Sanctions After Second Financial Rules Breach
- On June 4, 2025, Barcelona faced the risk of UEFA sanctions for a second consecutive breach of financial fair play rules related to their income reporting.
- The breach stems from Barcelona using 'levers' involving sales of broadcast and VIP seat revenues, which UEFA does not recognize as ordinary income, unlike LaLiga.
- Barcelona sold 10 percent of broadcast rights for €267 million in 2022 and later 15 percent for €400 million, both classified by UEFA as 'profits on disposal of intangible assets' outside FFP calculations.
- In 2023, Barcelona received a €420,000 fine from UEFA for similar violations, with the arbitration panel describing the penalty as relatively lenient but cautioning that stricter measures could be imposed if further breaches occur.
- UEFA is expected to announce possible penalties this month, which could include a points deduction or limits on Champions League player registrations, while Barcelona hopes to avoid severe sanctions.
