Juventus confirm UEFA proceedings opened into Financial Fair Play breach

Juventus are expecting a penalty from UEFA over Financial Fair Play violations, which could mean the restriction of new players in 2026-27.

The Bianconeri confirmed the potential breach in a statement tied to the release of their balance sheet for the financial year ending June 30, 2025.

Buried deep within the lengthy document was confirmation that the club has violated the Football Earning Rule parameter.

On September 18, Juventus received confirmation from UEFA that a proceeding had been opened against the side for the potential breach in the three-year period from 2022-23 to 2024-25.

The outcome of that proceeding is expected for spring 2026 and could give rise to a possible financial sanction, not believed to be a large amount.

More worrying would be the introduction of limits on signing new players into the lists for UEFA competitions.

Juve reiterate there are no further significant violations of the UEFA Financial Fair Play rules.

They also kept to the Squad Cost Ratio of 80 per cent for 2024, and are on track to fit within the limit of 70 per cent come 2025.

Juventus were already excluded from the Conference League in 2024-25, allowing them to wipe the slate clean for financial irregularities that had also seen them docked Serie A points.
