Will UEFA find FC Barcelona guilty in the Negreira case by December 31, 2027?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a UEFA disciplinary body finds FC Barcelona to have breached UEFA's regulations in connection with FC Barcelona's payments to José María Enríquez Negreira, former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, or to companies linked to him (commonly referred to as the "Negreira case") by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A finding will count if it is made in an official decision of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body or the UEFA Appeals Body and publicly announced, regardless of the sanction imposed, if any, and regardless of whether it is later appealed, reduced, or overturned. A decision declaring FC Barcelona ineligible for, or excluding it from, a UEFA club competition on the basis of these payments will also count. The opening or continuation of an investigation or disciplinary proceedings, reports or recommendations by the UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors, interim or provisional measures, rulings by Spanish courts or any other body, and decisions concerning any other matter will not count. The resolution source for this market will be official information from UEFA or FC Barcelona; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
