UNION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATIONS

AGENDA ITEM I : PLAYER WELFARE AND SCHEDULING

AGENDA ITEM II : THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY REGULATIONS

Background:

Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations were introduced by UEFA to prevent clubs from spending beyond their means and to ensure long-term financial sustainability. The rules aim to promote financial health in European football by requiring clubs to balance their income and expenses.

Discussion Points:

-Effectiveness: Analyze whether FFP has successfully reduced financial instability among clubs or if it has inadvertently favored wealthier clubs.
-Enforcement Challenges: Explore the challenges UEFA faces in enforcing these regulations, including loopholes and clubs circumventing rules.
-Consequences for Clubs: Discuss the impact of FFP on club competitiveness, transfer policies, and the overall landscape of European football.
-Alternatives and Reforms: Debate potential reforms or alternatives to FFP that could better promote competitive balance while maintaining financial stability.
