Chelsea and Aston Villa have both been fined for failing to comply with financial regulations put in place by European football's governing body

Chelsea have been handed a substantial fine by UEFA following violations of financial sustainability guidelines covering the fiscal periods ending in 2023 and 2024. The London club is now required to pay £27 million ($37m) after UEFA concluded their investigation into the club’s financial dealings over recent seasons.

Chelsea have been fined €31m and could be fined a further €60m if they do not comply with the rules in the next four years. Villa have been fined €11m, with a further €15m conditional on compliance in a three-year period.
