UEFA to Review Chelsea’s Women’s Team Sale Amid Financial Fair Play Scrutiny

Chelsea’s financial dealings have come under the spotlight as UEFA announced its intention to assess the club’s sale of its women’s team to parent company BlueCo at the end of the season.

This move follows Chelsea’s report of a £128.4m pre-tax profit for the year ending June 2024, marking the first positive financial results under the ownership of Todd Boehly’s Clearlake Capital consortium.

The profit was largely attributed to the “repositioning” of the highly successful women’s team as a separate business entity from the men’s team.

This strategy mirrors a prior move when Chelsea sold two hotels to a sister company, ensuring compliance with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Chelsea and all other Premier League clubs were cleared of PSR breaches in January.

However, UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations present a more stringent hurdle. The governing body discounts associated party transactions (APTs), such as Chelsea’s sale of the women’s team and hotels, which generated £76.6m in the 2022-23 season.

If APTs are excluded, Chelsea’s financial position over UEFA’s three-year monitoring period could weaken significantly, given UEFA’s £75m loss limit, compared to the Premier League’s £105m threshold.

Each case will undergo scrutiny by UEFA’s independent panel. While sanctions are likely to result in fines or settlements, severe sporting penalties are considered unlikely. In 2022, for example, Paris Saint-Germain faced substantial fines for FFP breaches but avoided on-field repercussions.

Chelsea currently sits fourth in the Premier League with nine games remaining, making them strong contenders for UEFA competition qualification and subsequent scrutiny under its financial rules.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire noted the unprecedented nature of Chelsea’s financial strategy. “Nobody’s quite certain how much a women’s team is worth. These transactions are complex, and it’s not guaranteed that Chelsea will be able to utilize these profits under UEFA’s rules,” Maguire explained.

Chelsea also faces lingering investigations from the Premier League over an £8.6m fine for historical FFP breaches under former owner Roman Abramovich in 2023.
