UEFA fined AC Milan's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic €50,000 ($61,000) on Wednesday for breaking the rules by having a financial interest in a betting company.
Milan were also warned and fined €25,000 for violating the same article of UEFA’s disciplinary regulations.
“The Chairman of the UEFA Appeals Body also issued Mr. Ibrahimovic with a directive aimed at ceasing the player’s association with the relevant betting company,” UEFA said in a statement.
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported in April that Ibrahimovic, 39, is a part-owner of the Malta-based betting company Bethard who he teamed up with in 2018.
FIFA’s Code of Ethics state a player cannot have interests in entities or companies that "promote, broker, arrange or conduct betting, gambling, lotteries or similar events or transactions connected with football matches and competitions".
