Manchester City -- accused of breaking financial rules -- successfully overturn two-year ban from European competition on appeal

Four-time Premier League winners Manchester City FC have overturned a two-year ban from European club competitions.


The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced the club have been cleared of "disguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions," though they will still be required to pay a €10m fine, reduced from €30m. 


The Union of European Football Associations issued the ban in February after ruling Man City had committed "serious breaches" of Financial Fair Play regulations.
