Manchester City have been linked with a possible 7-10 year ban from European competitions if their financial appeal fails, but UEFA has not officially confirmed such a punishment.
Man City Could Face 7-10 Year European Ban If Appeal Fails
Manchester City have been linked with a shocking potential ban from European football lasting between seven and 10 years if their financial appeal fails.
The claim emerged as UEFA continues to monitor City’s financial case involving the Premier League.
However, UEFA has not officially announced or confirmed a 7-10 year punishment.
Shock European ban claim emerges
Reports have suggested that City could face a major UEFA punishment if the findings against them remain in place after the appeal process.
Commentator César Augusto Londoño claimed the club could potentially be banned from the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League for between seven and 10 years.
The claim has since been repeated by several media outlets, but there is currently no official UEFA document confirming that length of suspension.
UEFA monitoring Man City case
UEFA is understood to be closely following the situation.
The European governing body is expected to wait for City’s domestic appeal process to develop before deciding whether separate action is necessary.
Some of the allegations in the Premier League case are connected to UEFA financial regulations, meaning further punishment remains possible.
Man City continue to fight decision
City have strongly denied wrongdoing and have officially challenged the original ruling.
The club believes serious mistakes were made in the decision and is reportedly preparing extensive evidence for its appeal.
That evidence is said to include financial records, emails, official documents and testimony from multiple witnesses.
No 10-year ban confirmed yet
For now, the most important point is that Manchester City have not officially been banned from European competition for seven or 10 years.
The figure remains an unconfirmed claim rather than an announced UEFA punishment.
But if City lose their appeal, the possibility of separate action from UEFA could become another major problem for the club.
