- Could BlueCo Cost Chelsea a Champions League Spot?
- Will Chelsea Resolve Ownership Issues in Time?
Chelsea’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League could be at risk this season, not due to their on-field performance, but because of UEFA’s ownership rules.
With just three games left in the Premier League, Chelsea is currently in fifth place, but their Champions League future remains uncertain.

Chelsea’s owner, BlueCo, also controls Ligue 1’s Strasbourg.
UEFA prohibits clubs with overlapping ownership from competing in the same European competition.
This could prevent Chelsea from qualifying for the Champions League unless they restructure their ownership.
Ongoing Discussions with UEFA
BlueCo has been in talks with UEFA since January to resolve the issue.

If they do not comply with UEFA’s rules soon, Chelsea could face a Champions League ban.
Europa League Alternatives
Even if Chelsea cannot fix the ownership conflict in time, they have options.
They’re set to face Real Betis in the Europa Conference League final.
Winning that match would secure a spot in the Europa League next season.
What’s Next for Chelsea?
Chelsea is at a crossroads. While their performance on the pitch is important, resolving the ownership issue is crucial for their European future.
The situation will unfold in the coming weeks, with UEFA’s decision likely to be a game-changer.
