UEFA statement on CAS decision in the Galatasaray AŞ case

UEFA takes note of today’s decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), in Lausanne, by means of which the appeal filed by Galatasaray AŞ against UEFA with respect to the decision rendered by the CFCB Adjudicatory Chamber decision on 5 October 2018 was upheld and the decision of the CFCB Adjudicatory Chamber is set aside.

As a consequence of today’s CAS decision, the settlement agreement concluded between the CFCB Investigatory Chamber and Galatasaray AŞ on 13 June 2018 remains in force.

UEFA will analyse in detail the CAS Award and will consider implementing in due course any clarifications or amendments to its rules that may result from the CAS Award.

The CAS decision does not put in doubt the objectives of the UEFA Club Licensing & Financial Fair Play system.
