Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:23:25 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — Spanish club Osasuna was removed from the Europa Conference League on Wednesday by UEFA because former club officials were implicated in fixing matches a decade ago.Osasuna said in a statement it will appeal the ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.By finishing seventh in La Liga last season, Osasuna earned a place in the playoff round of the third-tier European club competition, needing to beat one opponent in August to advance to the group stage.UEFA’s verdict lifts eighth-place Athletic Bilbao into the competition instead. A CAS ruling likely will be needed ahead of Athletic’s scheduled first-leg game on Aug. 24.Osasuna officials who are no longer with the club were implicated in fixing matches between 2012 and 2014.However, UEFA’s competition rules state that teams implicated in fixing any game played since April 2007 can be removed from the next competition for which they qualify. Further disciplinary measures can follow. Osasuna had not qualified fo...
