Marseille Fined €10 Million by UEFA, Avoids European Cup Ban
Share:
French football club Olympique de Marseille has been fined €10 million by UEFA, European football's governing body, after facing potential exclusion from continental competition. UEFA also imposed a transfer restriction on the club, limiting its ability to register new players for the upcoming UEFA Europa League season. The sanctions stop short of a full ban from European competition, allowing Marseille to continue participating in the Europa League — the second-tier club tournament in UEFA's competition structure — despite the financial and registration penalties.
