Marseille will retain their place in the 2020-21 Champions League, despite breaching UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
Having finished second to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 during the aborted 2019-20 campaign, OM won a place back in Europe’s premier competition for the first time in six years but faced a nervous wait for their passage to be stamped due to their financial issues.
While UEFA has backed OM to compete at Europe’s top table next season, a variety of sanctions have been placed upon the Mediterranean club. Firstly, they will forfeit 15% of the prize money they earn in European competition over the next two seasons, while the 2018 Europa League runners-up will also be limited to naming a squad of 23 senior players for the next three campaigns.
