Swiss court rule in Sion's favour but UEFA appeal decision still pending

[ian1964 10,761]

A Swiss court has said UEFA should reinstate FC Sion in the Europa League, just two days before the opening match of the competition.

 

UEFA are currently hearing an appeal from the club to give them their place back in the competition, having been expelled last week.

 

Celtic were given their spot in Group I and they are currently due to travel to face Atletico Madrid on Thursday, but the court ruling casts doubt over which team will participate in that fixture.

A Swiss court has said UEFA should reinstate FC Sion in the Europa League, just two days before the opening match of the competition, according to reports in Switzerland.

 

UEFA are currently hearing an appeal from the club to give them their place back in the competition, having expelled Sion last week and named Celtic in Group I.

 

But as deliberations continue in Nyon, Le Matin states a local court in Vaud has granted Sion an order which the Swiss club say will lead to them travelling to Spain to play Atletico Madrid on Thursday.

 

Sion congratulated the decision of the Swiss court on their official Twitter feed, remarking simply: "Madrid, Sion is coming".

 

A three-man delegation from Sion is currently at UEFA's headquarters arguing their case to be reinstated in the Europa League, with the hearing having started at 9am UK time.

Unless the UEFA Appeals body elect to refer Sion case back to Control and Disciplinary Body, their decision today, when it is made, is final

Sion reclaims Europa League place

Swiss football club FC Sion claims it has been reinstated in the Europa League after winning a provisional decision from a civil court in Uefa’s home canton.

 

Sion says the judges’ interim measure in canton Vaud, where European football’s governing body is based, means it can replace Scottish club Celtic and face Atletico Madrid on Thursday in Spain.

 

The civil ruling was announced while Uefa’s appeal panel was in session hearing Sion challenge its exclusion for fielding ineligible players in a playoff victory against Celtic.

 

Sion lawyers went to civil courts after losing verdicts at world football’s governing body Fifa, Uefa, the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the Swiss supreme court.

 

Sion broke Fifa transfer rules in 2008 by luring goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary to walk out on Egyptian club Al-Ahly.

On SSN that Sion have been reinstated.

 

I'd rather Celtic kept their place and took a good hiding against Atletico Madrid three days before they play us.
