The Portuguese club Porto will receive a punishment from UEFA in the Champions League for the next two seasons and will also have financial restrictions.
The Porto, qualified for the next Champions League, violated the financial fair play imposed by UEFA and will be subjected to strict control, with financial restrictions and a limit of registered players for the Champions, announced the European institution this Friday.
The club from northern Portugal, which on Thursday announced the hiring of former international Sergio Conceiçao as its new coach, will not receive the €700,000 it was entitled to for its participation in European competitions.
UEFA could withhold another €1.5 million if the club fails to comply with the control it is to submit to the body to adjust to the FPF (not to spend more than it earns).
Porto, furthermore, will not be able to register more than 22 players for the next Champions League instead of the usual 25. These points could directly harm the club's performance in the European tournament.
