Sports arbitration rejected the “Metalist” appeal to exile from the European Cups

The Sports Arbitration Court of Lausanne (CAS) refused to suspend the UEFA decision on the disqualification of FC Metalist (Kharkov) from European Cups. This was reported on the official website of the Swiss ministers of Themis.

“SAS refused to us.“ Metalist ”in European competitions 2013/14 does not play. Comfortable confidence won common sense,” the first vice president of the club Konstantin Pivovarov wrote on a personal page on Facebook .

Pivovarov also published the decision of the SAS, according to which the court ordered the Metalist to pay legal costs of 1000 Swiss francs and pay 5,000 UEFA francs and the Greek PAOK club.

Recall that the Kharkov club on August 7 made his way to the rank of playoff qualification of the Champions League debut for himself, having passed the Greek PAOK in the sum of two matches, and on August 21 and 27 in the Play-Off round, he was supposed to play with the German Schalke 04.

However, UEFA excluded the Metalist from the Champions League due to a contractual match with the Carpathians in 2008, replacing it in the tournament with Paoku, who had already lost to the Germans.
