ROME :Serie A club Juventus said on Thursday it was under investigation by the European governing body UEFA for possible breaches of its financial rules.

The Turin-based club made the announcement in its financial statements to be presented at its annual shareholders' meeting on November 7.

Juventus said that UEFA had informed the club on September 18 that proceedings had been opened to investigate possible breaches of the governing body's football earnings rule between 2022 and 2025, with a verdict expected in the spring of next year.

The club said this could result in "a possible economic sanction ... and possible sporting restrictions."
