After the green light from the CAS, UEFA also validated the news. “UEFA imposes a ban on the club to participate in European competitions for one year, suspended for a probationary period of two years. During this period, if the club does not appeal to the ordinary courts, the sanction will be null and void.specifies the press release from the Spanish club.
And to add: “Osasuna will abide by the decision of the UEFA Appeal Committee and will not appeal”. Seventh in the last Liga, Osasuna will still have to pay a fine of 100,000 euros and UEFA will recover 5% of the revenue that Osasuna could collect in European competition from the group stage, if it participates. As a reminder, Osasuna must go through the play-offs to access the group stage of the Europa League Conference 2023-2024. The draw will take place on Monday August 7th.
