Good news for Beşiktaş from UEFA

In the statement made on the official website of UEFA, it was reported that the decision to confiscate 15% of the income from UEFA organizations for the black and whites in the 2020-2021 season was lifted by the UEFA Club Financial Control Authority, as the club no longer has an overdue debt.
