Representatives of national associations discussed the current provisions of the UEFA Regulations: financial criteria, club monitoring, net worth rule, requirements for the legal structure of clubs, and compensation mechanisms for training football players.

Attention was paid to the results of the SGS audit for 2025, which showed an increase in the number of minor non-compliances with licensing quality standards, as well as the issue of Multi-Club Ownership. In this context, the practice of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was analyzed.

The event also presented a new edition of UEFA's analytical bulletin "The European Club Finance and Investment Landscape".
