UEFA to discuss Galatasaray's financial fair play situation


The UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) will discuss today Galatasaray's financial fair play situation with a decision due in June, UEFA said Wednesday.

"There are UEFA Club Financial Control Body meetings on Friday and Galatasaray is part of the agenda," a UEFA press officer, who asked not to be named, told Anadolu Agency (AA).

The CFCB will announce its decision on Galatasaray in June, he said. But no Galatasaray officials will participate in these meetings, he added.

In March, Galatasaray met UEFA officials in Nyon, Switzerland, to defend that its economic situation was in accordance with UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations.

After a three-hour meeting, Galatasaray President Mustafa Cengiz told reporters: "We made a 50-page presentation and UEFA asked us some questions. We have explained our plans for the next three years."

"We made three different presentations and UEFA has paid attention to these," he added.

Galatasaray was barred from playing in European competitions during the 2016-17 season for violating UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.
