Published: 6/19/2025

Manchester City fined over £1m by Premier League for late kick-offs in the previous season, with delays in nine matches. The club faced the longest delay before the second half of the Manchester derby in December, resuming over two minutes late. City accepted and apologized for the breaches and must pay the fines within 14 days. Pep Guardiola aims to address the issue after being fined £2.09m last season for delaying 22 matches.
