The First Chamber is competent to:

determine whether, once the licence is granted, licensees continue to fulfil their obligations and the licensing criteria set out in the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Sustainability Regulations and/or the UEFA Club Licensing Regulations for UEFA Women’s Club Competitions;

-
impose disciplinary measures in accordance with these rules in the event of non-fulfilment of the requirements set out in the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Sustainability Regulations and/or the UEFA Club Licensing Regulations for UEFA Women’s Club Competitions;
-
decide on cases relating to club admission to UEFA club competitions to the extent provided for by the regulations governing the competitions in question;
-
decide on requests for exceptions to the three-year rule as defined in the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Sustainability Regulations and to the two-year rule as defined in the UEFA Club Licensing Regulations for UEFA Women’s Club Competitions.
The Appeals Chamber has jurisdiction to hear appeals against decisions made by the First Chamber.
When a case seems to come under the jurisdiction of both the First Chamber and the Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body, the chair of the First Chamber and the chair of the Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body decide at their own discretion which body will deal with the case. If they cannot reach an agreement, the chair of the Appeals Body decides. Such decisions on jurisdiction may only be appealed against with the final decision of the body to which the case was assigned.
