Roma faces a UEFA fine, verdict due in November
Roma is awaiting UEFA's judgment on its accounts, scheduled for November; the Club Financial Control Body has indicated a possible financial sanction ranging between €10 million and €15 million, with the risk of limiting the player list for European competitions and, in a more extreme scenario, of excluding the club from the 2027/28 season.
Judgment expected in November
The Club Financial Control Body is expected to speak in November, assessing the economic‑financial situation of the yellow‑and‑red team. The decision will follow the settlement agreement signed four years ago with the European body, after previous violations of Financial Fair Play.
The settlement agreement set budget targets that Roma failed to meet, generating the current control procedure.
Possible fine between €10 million and €15 million
Sources indicate that the most likely sanction is a fine between €10 million and €15 million, which could be accompanied by a restriction on squad composition for UEFA competitions.
Any potential limitation of the player list would imply operational restrictions for future European campaigns.
Risk of exclusion in the 2027/28 season
The most severe case would be Roma's exclusion from European cups in the 2027/28 season, a scenario still to be assessed by the competent body.
During the European clubs assembly in Copenhagen, Roma president Dan Friedkin met UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, receiving assurances about the possibility of avoiding the harsher sanction.
Friedkin outlined the reasons for missing the target, emphasizing the path of balance‑sheet rebalancing, the progressive reduction of losses, and revenue growth prospects thanks to a future participation in the Champions League and the new stadium.
In the summer transfer window, the club followed Gian Piero Gasperini's guidance, keeping the core of the squad and postponing any sales beyond June 30, then intensifying contacts with UEFA to mitigate the consequences.
The verdict expected in November will clarify what concrete consequences the yellow‑and‑red club will face, influencing both financial management and sporting ambitions in Europe.
