Football teams Barcelona and Manchester United were punished for violating the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, the UEFA said on Friday. 

The UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CBCF) penalised Barcelona €500,000 for discrepantly declaring income from the sale of intangible assets in 2022.

Man United, on the other side, was penalised €300,000 for failing to disclose tiny break-even losses on matters pertaining to football, such as player transfers, salaries, and other matters.

Due to the similarity of their offences to United's, Turkish club Konyaspor and Cypriot club APOEL FC were each fined $100,000.

Riga FC (LVA), NK Olimpija Ljubljana (SVN), and K Slovan Bratislava (SVK) were all fined €10,000 for missing the deadline for providing comprehensive and correct break-even data.

The CFCB has previously imposed conditional punishments on FC Porto (POR) and RSC Anderlecht (BEL).

While FC Porto achieved the goal, RSC Anderlecht fell short and had to pay a fine of €100,000.

Large teams such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Paris Saint Germain—all of which were penalised by UEFA in September 2022 for violating FFP regulations—all achieved their stringent financial goals for the previous campaign. The goals were met, but UEFA will continue to keep an eye on them for the future campaign.

It should be mentioned that UEFA revised its FFP regulations in 2009 with a new monitoring system that gives the clubs financial sustainability.

The Telegraph earlier on July 12 revealed that Real Madrid was under scrutiny for questionable financial practises following the release of their most recent financial figures.

In the most recent statistics, payments totaling over €135 million were classified as "other operating expenses," of which €122 million was unaccounted for.

The club declined to comment on a contract that it had signed in the 2017–18 fiscal year with the private equity firm "Providence," which provided the club with funding in exchange for the sale of future income streams. Since then, the contract had been extended and increased in value.

Though the agreement was extended for 2019–20, the club's earnings from the undefined portion of the future sponsorship were recorded in Madrid's books as income rather than debt.

It is important to note that there is no assurance or proof that the agreement with Providence was unlawful in any manner; rather, the issue was whether or not it complied with UEFA financial regulations.
