Manchester city ban news

You're looking for the latest news on Manchester City's ban!

As you may know, Manchester City was banned from European competitions, including the Champions League and Europa League, for two seasons by UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) in February 2020. The ban was imposed due to alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Here's a quick summary of the key developments:

Background: Manchester City was accused of overstating its revenue and hiding the true extent of its sponsorship deals to comply with FFP regulations. The club denied any wrongdoing, but an investigation by UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) found that City had committed several breaches.

Ban and fine: In February 2020, UEFA imposed a two-year ban on Manchester City from European competitions, along with a fine of €30 million (approximately £25 million). The ban was set to take effect from June 2020.

Appeal: Manchester City appealed the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which is the highest sports court in the world. The appeal was heard in June 2020.

CAS ruling: In July 2020, CAS partially upheld Manchester City's appeal, reducing the ban to a single season (2020-21). The fine was also reduced to €10 million (approximately £8.5 million). The club was allowed to participate in the 2020-21 Champions League, but was banned from European competitions for the 2021-22 season.

Current situation: Manchester City is currently serving its one-season ban from European competitions. The club is still eligible to participate in domestic competitions, including the Premier League and FA Cup.

Recent developments: There have been no significant updates on the ban since the CAS ruling in July 2020. Manchester City has been focusing on its domestic and international performances, with the aim of regaining its European status as soon as possible.
