Financial Fair Play in Football
Football Law and Linklaters’ SportingLinks have linked up to produce a podcast.
In this podcast Mark Warren, Kalin Ivanov and Jason Shardlow-Wrest of Linklaters and Thomas Horton discuss how football clubs playing in UEFA club competitions or the English Football League (“EFL”) have grappled with those competitions’ financial fair play regulations this year.
In particular, the podcast discusses:
How UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, EFL’s Championship Profitability and Sustainability Rules, and EFL’s League One and League Two Salary Caps apply to those clubs.
How those financial fair play regulations are enforced.
The impact those financial fair play regulations have had upon how those football clubs finance themselves.
How have those financial fair play regulations been affected by COVID-19.
What the future holds.
Press play below!
