UEFA exclude Osasuna from 2023/24 Europa Conference League

UEFA have excluded Osasuna from the Europa Conference League next season.

The decision was made after the ruling of the investigation into match-fixing in two matches in the 2013-2014 season.

Osasuna announced on Tuesday:

"The UEFA Appeals Committee has today taken the decision to leave Club Atlético Osasuna out of the 2023-2024 Conference League. The members of the UEFA Appeals Committee did not take into account the allegations submitted by the club last Friday and reaffirmed the initial ruling of the inspectors of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee. The reasons for the Appeal Committee's decision to exclude Osasuna will be communicated to the club in the coming days.

"Club Atlético Osasuna does not share at all UEFA's criteria nor the investigation of the case carried out and regrets the wrong message that UEFA sends to the football world by punishing those who denounce corruption and pursue it judicially.

"Finally, Club Atlético Osasuna will continue to deploy all the legal instruments at its disposal to stand up to UEFA and put an end to what it considers to be a serious violation of its rights."
