CAS ruling
Tuesday’s ruling means Fenerbahce remain expelled from the Europa League and barred from qualifying for next season's Champions League following a match-fixing case.
UEFA expelled Fenerbahce in June after judging that club officials helped fix matches to win the 2011 Turkish league title.
UEFA rules bar clubs which are implicated in fixing matches played since April 2007, the European football governing body however agreed to let Fenerbahce play Champions League matches pending the CAS verdict.
