Avoid Sanctions for the 2024/25 Season, Juventus Absent from the Conference League

– Juventus have reached an agreement with UEFA to be excluded from all European competitions this season, meaning they will not play in the Conference League.

As quoted Brand from Il Corriere dello Sport, this action was taken by Juventus so as not to be penalized from the 2024/25 season onwards. This agreement will prevent Juventus from being absent if they qualify for the Champions League next season.

With this step, Juve will not participate in the third level competition in Europe. Even though they qualified after last season perched in seventh place in the final Serie A standings. This is to ensure that they are not penalized by the Champions League in 2024/25, which is the Bianconeri’s target for the upcoming season.

The sanctions against Juventus came as a result of Capital Gains Case aka inflating profit reports. In this case the Juventus club directors changed the real value of their players on the transfer market to stabilize them on their balance sheet so that they were not penalized for exceeding UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.

As a result of this case, Juventus were deducted 15 points in January 2023. In April 2023, the decision was reversed and Juventus regained these points. However, after a new investigation, Juventus lost 10 points in May 2023. As a result, Juventus are only in seventh place in the final standings of the 2022/23 Serie A season.
