FC Porto has been fined CHF50,000 ($50,000) by FIFA over third-party player ownership violations. The Primeira Liga club reportedly breached the regulations, which prevent any contracts that give third parties influence over a team's transfer-related decisions and independence, but specifics of the infringement have not been given. According to FIFA, the Portuguese side was found guilty in May 2015 of breaching its own rules on third-party ownership, as well as those governing transfer fees paid for players under contract.
