Chelsea FC has announced a pre-tax profit of £128.4 million for the year ending June 2024, marking the first positive results under the new ownership of Todd Boehly's Clearlake Capital consortium. This financial upswing is attributed primarily to the restructuring of their women's team as a distinct business entity from the men's team. While the Premier League has cleared Chelsea of any profit sustainability breaches for now, Uefa's more stringent Financial Fair Play regulations could pose challenges for the club's financial maneuvers, particularly regarding transactions with associated parties. Uefa's assessment of these transactions could significantly influence Chelsea's financial standing going forward, particularly if the club qualifies for European competitions this season.
Chelsea's sale of its women's team to BlueCo will be assessed by Uefa at season's end, scrutinizing compliance with financial regulations.
The club's reported pre-tax profit is largely attributed to the repositioning of the women's team, reflecting strategic financial restructuring by the new ownership.
Uefa's stringent Financial Fair Play rules could challenge Chelsea's financial actions, allowing a maximum of 75m loss versus the Premier League's 105m.
Chelsea's financial management and compliance with Uefa rules are critical as they aim for qualification in European competitions and avoid penalties.
