It’s official: Juventus will not play in the Conference League this season.
UEFA has decided! As expected – and even wanted by the Old Lady – Juventus will not play the Conference League for which they qualified this season after the penalty suffered during the previous exercise. Faced with repeated violations of the regulations of the continental body in recent years, the European Football Confederation has imposed a fine of 20 million euros on the Turinese, including 10 suspended.
Juve is thus condemned to show white paws on the next three closings of exercise, under penalty of seeing its penalties increased. For the formula, the flagship club of Turin declares in a press release “ accept the decision by waiving appeal, expressly excluding however that this may constitute an admission of any liability against itself. »
All good for the Viola?
In other words, Juventus pleads not guilty but keeps a low profile so as not to risk more, and especially not an exclusion from the 2024-2025 edition of the Champions League already targeted. The ticket for the Conference League thus withdrawn from the Bianconeri, Fiorentina, eighth in Serie A last season, should inherit the sesame.
