Take The Financial Fair Play Survey!

Financial fair play is a concept devised by UEFA that will supplement the licensing procedure for participation in the Champions League and Europa League from the 2013/14 season.

The following points describe in detail the instrumental aims behind this concept:

• To encourage professional football clubs not to spend more than they make in income
• To limit the level of debt at professional football clubs
• To encourage professional football clubs to settle their debts on time
• To stop excessive salary and transfer payments
• To promote investment in youth development and infrastructure (training facilities and stadia)
• To encourage sensible long-term financial management
• To make professional football clubs more transparent for UEFA

With the help of these instrumental aims the concept ultimately hopes to achieve the following fundamental objectives:

• To improve the financial stability of professional football clubs
• To protect professional football clubs’ creditors (e.g. players or other clubs)
• To regulate the influence of external funding (from investors, lenders or benefactors) on on-field competition
• To preserve the long-term viability of European club football

She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."
