UEFA has given a thumbs up to Inter’s accounts in its assessment of the clubs’ accounts for the 2023/2024 season, including that of the Nerazzurri, under advisory regime. Here is the note published by the European football body: “The CFCB First Chamber met this week and completed the assessment of the clubs that took part in the 2023/24 season or were in a conciliation regime during the 2023/24 season. For the first time, the CFCB has evaluated the clubs based on the new Cost Squad rule that is progressively implemented over three years. In 2023, clubs had to report a ratio at or below 90%. The ratio will then drop to 80% in 2024 and finally to 70% in 2025,” it reads.
“All clubs have reported a team-cost ratio within the 90% limit applicable for the 2023/24 season.
However, two clubs, Aston Villa (ENG) and Olympique de Marseille (FRA), were fined by the CFCB First Section respectively 60,000 and 20,000 euros for the late submission of their financial information.
The CFCB First Chamber continued to monitor the 10 clubs who were under conciliation during the 2023/24 season.
AC Milan (ITA), FC Internazionale Milano (ITA), AS Monaco FC (FRA), Olympique de Marseille (FRA), Paris Saint-Germain (FRA), Beşiktaş JK (TUR), Trabzonspor A.Ş (TUR) and Royal Antwerp FC (BEL) have all reached the interim financial targets set for the 2023 financial year.
AS Roma (ITA) slightly exceeded the intermediate target set for the 2023 financial year and was fined 2 million euros.
Istanbul Başakşehir FK (TUR) also slightly exceeded the final goal set for the 2023/24 season and the following disciplinary measures were imposed by the CFCB First Chamber:
– exclusion from the next (1) UEFA competition for clubs which the Club would otherwise qualify for in the three subsequent seasons (3), unless the Club complies with the rule on football earnings in the 2024/25 season;
– a limit of 23 players that the company can register in List A for the 2024/25 season;
– a restriction on the ability to register newly signed players in List A for the 2024/25 season, and
– a fine of € 100,000.”.
