Uefa sanction for match-fixing.
Yobo
The Turkish side had been due to go into
the Europa League following their defeat
by Arsenal in the Champions League
qualifiers but will now be excluded from
that and also from all European
competitions next year.
Ukrainian side Metalist Kharkiv’s appeal
against a one-season exclusion from
Uefa’s club competitions – also for
match-fixing – has also been upheld by
Cas.
Uefa welcomed the Cas decisions and will
hold a meeting on Thursday to decide
which club will take Fenerbahce’s place in
the Europa League group stage.
Uefa said in a statement: “Uefa welcomes
the decisions of the Court of Arbitration
for Sport (Cas) rejecting the appeals
made by Fenerbahce SK and FC Metalist
Kharkiv against the Uefa Appeals Body
decisions of 15 July 2013 and 14 August
2013 respectively.
