    Why. As long as funding is ok and not taxpayers money and the permits to build are legal and they have government approval for the project and it doesn’t breach UEFA’s FFP rules then UEFA have no reason to put a block on it.

    If government funds it in anyway and they are not the owners or beneficiaries in anyway then it is state aid which is against uefa rules I think Tottenham would be the first on the blower they had to turn over every stone for investment

    UEFA did nothing when Spanish government helped out Real Madrid.

    Yeh I know all about that but technically it was in the rules ( loophole) they bought land off Madrid at an inflated price

    Its no problem as 98% live in Africa and Asia and don't know the name of the stadium anyways.
