Chelsea, Barcelona Fined By UEFA For Financial Rule Breaches
UEFA fined Chelsea €20M and Barcelona €15M for financial breaches. Lyon and Aston Villa were also penalized. UEFA imposed significant financial penalties on Chelsea and Barcelona on Friday for breaching the organization's financial monitoring regulations. Chelsea were fined €20 million ($23.6 million), while Barcelona were ordered to pay €15 million ($17.7 million), as part of a broader effort to enforce financial discipline across European football. Chelsea's total fine includes €20 million for failing to meet UEFA's break-even requirements and an additional €11 million ($13 million) for exceeding the 80% threshold on 'squad cost" — a category that includes player wages and transfer fees. The Premier League club was also scrutinized for a £76.5 million ($104.4 million) internal transaction involving the sale of two hotels between subsidiaries of Chelsea's parent company, BlueCo 22 Ltd. Chelsea has been owned by U.S. businessman Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital since 2022. Barcelona Penalized for Excessive Losses Barcelona's €15 million fine relates to excessive financial losses, as determined by UEFA's accounting assessments. The penalty is conditional on their qualification for European competitions and is aimed at encouraging fiscal stability among clubs competing at the top level. Both Chelsea and Barcelona face the possibility of further financial penalties in upcoming seasons if they fail to meet UEFA's specified financial targets. These benchmarks are part of multi-year settlement agreements intended to guide clubs toward compliance with UEFA's financial sustainability framework. All four clubs entered into settlement agreements with UEFA, ranging from two to four years in duration. The goal is for each club to meet the required financial targets by the end of their respective settlement periods. Lyon Risks Exclusion from European Competition Lyon faces an additional sanction: automatic exclusion from UEFA competitions in the 2025–26 season if the French football finance authority (DNCG) confirms the club's relegation to Ligue 2. These measures are part of UEFA's intensified efforts to uphold financial responsibility and promote long-term sustainability within European football.

China imposes anti-dumping duties on European brandy as trade tensions rise
China on Friday (July 4, 2025) imposed anti-dumping duties on European brandy, most notably cognac produced in France, as trade tensions between Beijing and United States allies continue to rise. The tariffs, effective on Saturday, will range from 27.7% to 34.9%, China's Commerce Ministry said. They are to be in place for five years and will not be applied retroactively. The announcement came during a European visit by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi aimed at ironing out trade differences. Mr. Wang was set to visit Paris after stops in Brussels and Berlin. The anti-dumping duties are the result of a probe China launched last year into European cognac, after the European Union undertook a probe into Chinese electric vehicles subsidies. 'The investigative authority finally ruled that the dumping of related imported brandy from the EU has existed,' read a statement by China's Commerce Ministry. 'The domestic brandy industry faces a material threat of damage, and there is a causal relationship between the dumping and the substantial damage threat.' Besides cognac, China has also launched investigations into European pork and dairy products. The brandy probe was the first and targeted mainly French makers of cognac and similar spirits such as Armagnac. China initially announced provisional tariffs of 30.6% to 39% on French cognac producer Remy Martin and other European brandies after a majority of E.U. countries approved duties on electric vehicles made in China. Wang was set to meet his French counterpart, Jean-Noël Barrot, later Friday in Paris. His European tour comes ahead of a China-EU summit to be focused on trade later this month in Beijing.

Microsoft shuts Pakistan office after 25 years amid global overhaul
Tech giant Microsoft has announced to shut down its limited operations in Pakistan as part of its global strategy to reduce workforce, which various stakeholders termed on Friday as a troubling sign for the country's economy. Microsoft, while closing its office in Pakistan on Thursday after 25 years, cited global restructuring and a shift to a cloud-based, partner-led model. The move came as the tech giant cut roughly 9,100 jobs worldwide (or about 4 per cent of its workforce) in its largest layoff round since 2023. Jawwad Rehman, former founding Country Manager of Microsoft Pakistan, urged the government and IT minister to engage with the tech giants with a bold KPI (Key Performance Indicators) driven plan. He said the exit reflected the current business climate. Even global giants like Microsoft find it unsustainable to stay, he posted on LinkedIn. Former Pakistan president Arif Alvi, in a post on X, also expressed concern over Microsoft shutting down operations. It is a troubling sign for our economic future, he wrote. He claimed Microsoft once considered Pakistan for expansion, but that instability led the company to choose Vietnam instead by late 2022. The opportunity was lost, he wrote. Jawwad explained that Microsoft didn't operate a full commercial base in Pakistan, relying instead on liaison offices focused on enterprise, education, and government clients. Over recent years, much of that work had already shifted to local partners, while licensing and contracts were managed from its European hub in Ireland.
