Man City and Premier League Settle APT Rules Dispute, Ending Arbitration

The agreement comes after a tribunal voided earlier rules, prompting a league rewrite.

Overview

  • Manchester City has accepted the current Associated Party Transaction rules as valid and binding.
  • The October arbitration hearing has been canceled, and both parties say they will make no further comment.
  • The APT framework is intended to ensure fair‑market‑value for owner‑linked commercial deals.
  • Reports indicate the settlement could clear the way for a long‑term Etihad Airways sponsorship.
  • A separate Premier League case alleging more than 100 financial breaches by City remains unresolved.
