UEFA reviews Marseille's financial status amid potential Europa League exclusion

Summary

UEFA is considering sanctions against Olympique de Marseille, including possible exclusion from next season's Europa League. The review comes as the club struggles with severe financial difficulties, reporting nearly €157 million in net losses over the last three seasons. Marseille had previously agreed to a settlement with UEFA in 2022 after breaching Financial Fair Play regulations but has not met the terms set for financial recovery. Key concerns include high operating costs and a substantial wage bill, which a recent audit highlighted. Marseille aims to argue that the decline in French television revenue should be considered in their case.
