UEFA may exclude Marseille from European competitions over financial issues
Marseille's losses reached 157 million euros over three seasons, putting their qualification for the Europa League at risk.
French club Marseille is facing the threat of exclusion from European competitions. According to reports from L'Équipe, the club's financial situation has triggered a formal review by UEFA, potentially leading to severe sanctions.
The club has recorded losses totaling 157 million euros over the last three seasons. This figure significantly exceeds the 60-million-euro limit established in a settlement agreement signed with UEFA in 2022.
That matters because Marseille has already secured a spot in the upcoming Europa League after finishing sixth in the league table last season. The club's participation in the tournament now hangs in the balance.
On Tuesday, June 2, UEFA will evaluate the club's complex financial status. Unless the governing body grants leniency due to the ongoing broadcasting rights crisis in French football, the club faces the real possibility of being banned from European competition.
