Premier League champions,
Manchester City are set to be handed one-year ban from Champions League by
UEFA.
An investigation into accusations
that Manchester City misled European soccer’s financial regulators in pursuit
of its success on the field is expected to recommend that the team be barred
from the Champions League, European soccer’s richest competition.
According to New York Times,
English soccer authorities and officials at UEFA, European soccer’s governing
body and the organizer of the Champions League, have for months been
investigating Manchester City amid allegations of rule-breaking revealed in damaging
leaks over much of the past year.
Members of the investigatory
chamber of UEFA’s financial control board, a group set up to analyze the
accounts of clubs suspected of breaking strict cost-control regulations, met
two weeks ago in Nyon, Switzerland, to finalize their conclusions.
Yves Leterme, the investigatory
panel’s leader and the former prime minister of Belgium will have the final say
on the submission to a separate adjudicatory chamber, which could be filed as
soon as this week. The body is expected to seek at least a one-season ban.
