UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin granted an interview to the official microphones of Sky Sport to talk about the situation of Italian football and clubs. Here are his words:
"Italian companies in difficulty with the new FPF? Some Italian clubs would have problems in any case, beyond the new rules of financial fair play. If each club fails to abide by the rules, it will run into problems. As it should be, if you don't follow the rules."
He added:
"We have to become a sustainable industry. In other activities you can only afford to control profit, while in football clubs on the one hand have to pay attention to profit and on the other hand they want to win. Everyone wants to win today. , sometimes it becomes a problem because the economic effort is not sustainable, they invest too much and do not control the revenues. If a club does not spend more than 70% of the player budget, it will be a big change. We strongly believe in this."
Ceferin on Italy's candidacy for Euro 2032:
"I talked a lot with Gravina, I think Italy is a nation that thrives on football and breathes football. And this is not a diplomatic statement, I see it every day. The problem for Italy is that the infrastructure situation is terrible for a country of this level. It would be important to ensure an implementation of resources to allow Italy to improve. If help does not arrive from the Italian government ensuring that new infrastructures are built, it could be a problem."
