Financial Fair Play (FFP)

Financial Fair Play (FFP) is a set of rules established by football’s governing bodies to ensure clubs operate within their financial means. Its goal is to prevent clubs from spending excessively, which could lead to financial instability or unfair competitive advantages. Clubs are required to balance their expenses with their revenue, avoid ongoing deficits, and make transparent financial reports. By enforcing these standards, FFP aims to promote sustainable growth, fair competition, and responsible management within professional football.
