UEFA Investigates Juventus Over Financial Rules

After the announcement of UEFA opening proceedings, Juventus face scrutiny over potential financial rule breaches covering the 2022-23 to 2024-25 seasons, with a verdict expected by spring 2026. The investigation focuses on possible violations of UEFA’s financial fair play rules, which limit clubs to €60 million in losses over three years, with a maximum allowance of €90 million if certain “good financial health” criteria are met, including positive equity, a quick ratio of at least one, sustainable debt levels, and confirmation that the club remains a going concern.

Juventus, currently fifth in Serie A with 12 points from six matches, are active in this season’s Champions League, earning two points from their first two group-stage games. This development comes ahead of a shareholder meeting on November 7, when CEO Maurizio Scanavino is set to step down after three years. Previously, in July 2023, Juventus faced a season-long European competition ban and a €20 million fine for past financial breaches, with half the fine conditional on future irregularities in annual accounts.
