Arabic version: ليستر سيتي يخسر الاستئناف بشأن العقوبات المالية

Leicester City have lost their appeal against their six-point deduction for breaching English Football League financial rules. The sanction was imposed on the club in February by an independent commission and saw the Foxes fall from 17th to 20th, however they have since dropped into the Championship relegation zone and are a point adrift of safety with five games remaining.

They were initially charged by the Premier League in May 2025 for profit and sustainability breaches relating to the 2023-24 season, when they were in the Championship.

According to BBC News, the club has stated that with the appeal concluded, the focus will now shift entirely to the remaining matches. A statement from Leicester emphasized the importance of concentrating on results on the pitch, expressing gratitude to supporters for their ongoing backing during this challenging period.

The responsibility now is to ensure these remaining games are approached with the focus and intent our current situation demands. As the season winds down, the pressure is mounting for Leicester to perform and avoid relegation.
