The appeal follows a UEFA finding that City committed serious Financial Fair Play breaches by overstating sponsorship revenue between 2012 and 2016 and failing to cooperate. The article explains what the fast June timetable could signal, when a ruling may arrive, and how a potential ban could affect other English clubs competing for European places, including possible Premier League points implications.","5/20/2020 Explained: Man City’s appeal date and what it means for United and chasing pack – The Athletic  \nExplained: Man City’s appeal date and what it means for United and chasing pack  \nBy Sam Lee and Matt Slater 2h ago  1   \nManchester City’s long-awaited appeal against their two-year Champions League ban will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport from June 8-10.  \nThe Athletic has already consulted legal and Financial Fair Play experts to answer some key questions about the appeal process and the hearing itself  \n([https://theathletic.co.uk/1742397/2020/04/14/manchester-citys-cas-appeall%ef%bb%bf-the](https://theathletic.co.uk/1742397/2020/04/14/manchester-citys-cas-appeall%ef%bb%bf-the)big-questions-answered/?article_source=search&search_query=cas), and below we will explain the significance of Tuesday’s announcement, when a decision is expected to be known, what it means for other English clubs hoping to take City’s place in European football, and whether there could be any further delays.  \n[https://theathletic.com/1823289/2020/05/20/man-city-cas-manchester-ffp-hearing-champions-league/ 1/11](https://theathletic.com/1823289/2020/05/20/man-city-cas-manchester-ffp-hearing-champions-league/ 1/11)  \n5/20/2020 Explained: Man City’s appeal date and what it means for United and chasing pack – The Athletic  \nWhat happened yesterday?  \nCAS has updated its list of hearings to include ‘Manchester City FC v. UEFA’, meaning City’s appeal against their two-year Champions League ban will be heard in the next month.  \nGiven the ongoing pandemic, it is likely this will be conducted via video conference call, although changes to lockdown measures in the UK and Switzerland (where both CAS and UEFA are based) could make an in-person hearing possible. We would not expect the hearing to be public.  \nWhy are City appealing?  \nIn February, UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) Adjudicatory Chamber found them guilty of committing “serious breaches of Financial Fair Play Regulations by overstating its sponsorship revenue between 2012 and 2016”, and stated that City had “failed to cooperate in the investigation of this case by the CFCB”. In short, that City had been receiving money directly from their owner, the United Arab Emirates’ Sheikh Mansour (which is not allowed under FFP) and dressed it up as legitimate sponsorships from a number of different Abu Dhabi-based companies.  \nThe result was a two-year ban from European competition and a fine of €30 million.  \nCity have always maintained their innocence, stating on several occasions that they have a“comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position”. In a statement, they criticised UEFA’s investigation and said they had “always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process” to decide their fate. They had lodged an appeal to CAS last year, but the case was ultimately thrown out because at that point there had not been a decision to actually appeal against. On February 26, just under two weeks after UEFA did publish their decision, City lodged a new appeal with CAS, which we now know will be heard next month.  \nWhy are these June dates significant?  \nIn March, it was reported that the Premier League’s top 10 clubs—minus City themselves and Sheffield United (who are owned by Prince Abdullah, a businessman from Saudi Arabia, a close ally of the United Arab Emirates)—had submitted a joint application to CAS, imploring that City be banned from next season’s Champions League in the event the club
