The chief of the British police force who recommended that fans from Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv be banned from attending a Europa League football match against Aston Villa in Birmingham last year retired on Friday following criticism of that decision.
The U.S. dollar value dropped about 9% against a range of foreign currencies in the first months of 2025 and UEFA blames that fall for a $55M loss of revenue.
The U.K.'s home secretary urged the head of one of the country's leading police forces to resign following a report on how fans from Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv were banned from a Europa League match against Aston Villa last year.
Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain topped the UEFA prize money table getting €144.4 million ($168 million) last season.
Maccabi Tel-Aviv, whose supporters were controversially excluded from a match at Aston Villa last month, have been given a suspended one-match away fan ban by UEFA for racist chanting.
