UEFA has strict rules that prevent football clubs with shared ownership from playing in the same European competition to keep matches fair. Several Premier League clubs, including Everton, Chelsea, and Nottingham Forest, had to ensure they follow these rules by a March 1 deadline to avoid losing their European spots. Everton’s ownership link with Italy’s Roma has raised concerns because both clubs could qualify for European tournaments.
