Financial Fair Play

Financial Fair Play (FFP) is a set of regulations designed to promote financial stability in professional football (soccer) clubs. Established by UEFA, FFP aims to ensure that clubs do not spend more money than they earn, thereby preventing excessive debt and promoting sustainable business practices. By requiring clubs to balance their budgets over a three-year period, FFP encourages responsible financial management and reduces the risk of clubs facing financial crises. Ultimately, it aims to level the playing field, ensuring that success on the pitch is determined by talent and strategy, not just financial power.
