Overview

• A commission hearing that concluded in December 2024 has yet to produce a ruling on more than 100 alleged breaches of league financial regulations.
• City denies all charges, which allege failures in reporting financial and remuneration data between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.
• If found guilty, potential sanctions range from points deductions to substantial fines or even relegation from the Premier League.
• Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has stressed the need for patience, saying the club will comment once the ruling is issued.
• Despite the pending verdict, City’s Champions League triumph secures its place in next month’s expanded Club World Cup, drawing objections from FIFPRO over scheduling.
