Osasuna have been cleared to play in this season's Europa Conference League.

Osasuna had qualified for the competition, but were initially banned by UEFA over past match-fixing from 2014.

However, after an appeal made to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the ruling has been overturned, with UEFA also accepting the decision. It means Athletic Bilbao are now out of Europe.

Osasuna confirmed this morning: "Club Atlético Osasuna will play the 2023/24 Conference League, after the procedure before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for the 'Consent Award' formula has ended today.

"In view of the new evidence provided by the club in defense of its participation in the competition, UEFA has concluded that Osasuna was a victim of the events that occurred almost a decade ago and has valued the initiative carried out by the institution to clarify them. Consequently, UEFA considers Osasuna suitable to participate in this edition of the European competition.

"Osasuna, therefore, will be present on August 7 at the Conference League playoff draw that will take place on August 24 and 31. UEFA's decision and the ratification of the TAS put an end, both in the ordinary courts and in sports justice, to the fight that the entity has maintained during the last two months in defense of its rights and those of its members.

"On the other hand, UEFA has opened a disciplinary procedure against Osasuna for going to ordinary justice in this process, which will not prevent the club's participation in the Conference League. The club will accept the penalty imposed by UEFA, before which it will not file an appeal, and has expressed its commitment to the highest body of European football not to raise issues of the sporting field to ordinary courts."
