Attraverso un comunicato, la UEFA ha annunciato che il Manchester City è stato escluso per due anni in primo grado dalle competizioni europee a causa delle violazioni in materia del Fair Play Finanziario. Inoltre, i Citizens dovranno pagare una multa di 30 milioni di euro. Il club inglese può comunque presentare ricorso al CAS (The Court of Arbitration for Sport).
欧足联宣布曼城违反财政公平禁赛规则,接下来两个赛季曼城被禁止参加欧战,并且被罚款3000万欧元
曼城已经向国际体育仲裁法庭上诉
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has lifted the two-year ban on Manchester City imposed by UEFA due to Financial Fair Play irregularities.
“As the charges with respect to any dishonest concealment of equity funding were clearly more significant violations than obstructing the CFCB’s investigations, it was not appropriate to impose a ban on participating in UEFA’s club competitions for MCFC’s failure to cooperate with the CFCB’s investigations alone,” read the statement from CAS.
“The CAS Panel found that a significant fine should be imposed on MCFC and considered it appropriate to reduce UEFA’s initial fine by 2/3, i.e. to the amount of EUR 10 million.”
体育仲裁法庭CAS宣布曼城上诉成功,取消欧足联对曼城禁止参加两个赛季欧战的处罚,罚款从3000万欧元减少到1000万欧元
