Fenerbahce expelled from Europa League

Fenerbahce has been expelled from the Europa League and barred from qualifying for next season’s Champions League in a match-fixing case.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said yesterday it dismissed the Turkish club’s appeal against a two-year competition ban imposed by UEFA.

“Pursuant to the UEFA decision, which is now confirmed by the CAS, Fenerbahce is excluded from two editions of the UEFA club competitions,” the court said in a statement.

CAS also confirmed Metalist Kharkiv’s expulsion from the Champions League in another years-old fixing case involving national league matches. Detailed reasons for the rulings will be published later.

The CAS panel’s judgment immediately removes Fenerbahce from the group stage of the Europa League.
