Uefa to assess Chelsea accounts at end of season

UEFA will review Chelsea's sale of its women's team to BlueCo at the end of the season.

This follows the club's announcement of a £128.4 million pre-tax profit for the year ending June 2024, marking its first positive financial results under Todd Boehly's Clearlake Capital consortium.

The profit stems primarily from separating the women’s team as a business, following the sale of two hotels.

UEFA’s stricter Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules scrutinize associated party transactions (APTs) like this, with penalties potentially including fines but not severe sporting sanctions.

Chelsea’s compliance will be evaluated by UEFA’s independent panel.

The club, currently fourth in the Premier League, is under ongoing scrutiny over FFP breaches, including an £8.6 million fine from 2023.
