Lyon escaped exclusion from the Europa League. On Monday, UEFA officially announced the removal of conditional disqualification imposed in connection with the financial problems of the club. Lyon, published in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League from 6th place in the table of the general stage, could not be allowed to further participate in the tournament.
In December 2024, the first chamber of the financial control body of clubs (CFCB) found that the financial statements of Lyon for 2024 did not comply with the fundamental principle of business continuity. In this regard, it was decided to exclude Lyon from the UEFA club competitions in the 2024/25 season, if the club does not provide reports accompanied by audit reports without any reservations regarding the continuity of operations before January 30, 2025.
Lyon took the necessary measures and fulfilled the set conditions within the specified period. As a result, the first Chamber of CBFC decided not to apply conditional disqualification. Next, a thorough monitoring of Lyon compliance with financial stability requirements will be carried out in accordance with the rules for licensing UEFA clubs by record of football forecast and financial stability, the UEFA statement said.
L`Equipe notes that Lyon may encounter new UEFA sanctions at the end of the season if the club`s financial situation does not continue to improve.
Recall that in November it became known that Lyon threatens the exception to the league 1 due to a debt of 505, 1 million euros, if the seven-fold champions of France will not correct the situation by summer.
