• City had appealed against Uefa FFP investigation
• Cas ruling means Uefa’s case against City will continue
The case against Manchester City for alleged breaches of Uefa’s financial fair play (FFP) regulations will proceed to a full hearing after the court of arbitration for sport rejected City’s appeal against the charge being made.
City had appealed to Cas in May against the decision of Uefa’s club financial control body (CFCB) investigatory chamber to refer the alleged breaches to the CFCB’s adjudicatory chamber for a decision. The investigatory chamber is understood to have recommended that if the serious charges are proven, that City misled Uefa in 2013-14 about the source of sponsorship money paid to the club, City should be banned from the Champions League for a season.
