League proposes financial fair play model, which includes relegation for clubs with accumulated debts

Liga Portugal aims to introduce a financial fair play model that could lead to relegation for clubs with significant debts. This proposal, inspired by governance models from MLS and Premier League, was discussed at the XVII Summit of Presidents. Key points include requiring clubs to align player costs with recurring revenue and proving financial capability through escrow accounts. Additionally, the commercialization of broadcasting rights is set to be centralized, with a potential offer of 210 million euros for rights starting in the 2028/29 season. The Liga anticipates higher bids, estimating values could reach up to 260 million euros.
