Chelsea Women's sale to their parent company, BlueCo 22 Midco Ltd, is being assessed by the Premier League. The sale, which was made just two days before the 2023-24 finances were due to be registered, has raised questions about its impact on UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.
What happened?
Chelsea reported a pre-tax profit of £128.4million for the year ending June 30, 2024, with a profit of £198.7m from the sale of their women's team and other subsidiaries.
Why it matters for Chelsea Women
The Premier League is assessing the sale to determine if it was made at a fair market value, which could affect Chelsea's financial submissions to UEFA.
What comes next?
If Chelsea are found to have breached UEFA's regulations, they could face a fine, similar to the €10m fine given to Paris Saint-Germain in 2022.
