Uefa decision for CAS: Osasuna defends against exclusion from Europe

Osasuna celebrates: After a good season, the Spanish first division celebrates qualification for the Conference League for the first time.

CA Osasuna is not a big club in Spain. In 2015, the club from Pamplona almost relegated to third division. But things have improved since then. The development was awarded with a seventh place and the first qualification for the Conference League. But then a big mail came from UEFA.

She informed the club that he was not fit to participate in international affairs and was therefore suspended. At first glance, the logical reason: a match fixing case from 2014.

Motivating help in the relegation battle

Only: the Spanish judiciary described the club as a “victim” of the machinations of some officials as part of a criminal case in 2020. Specifically, Osasuna offered two Real Betis professionals a monetary “motivation aid” so that they could focus on the penultimate match day of the 2013/14 season against Valladolid, who fought against the relegation zone. Betis won, but both Osasuna and Valladolid were relegated at the end of the season.

The following year the club was threatened with total collapse. Sportingly they were close to relegation for the second time in a row, and financially the club had to sell all its possessions and only survived because the current club bosses are deep in their pockets. In 2020 there was a criminal trial in which professionals, civil servants and entrepreneurs were sentenced to long prison terms. So basically all updated? Not at UEFA.

Osasuna fight – Bilbao could benefit

This one performed the admission procedure “new”, although the incidents were almost ten years ago and have nothing to do with the current club management. The new managers are correspondingly angry about the ban. After an appeal to the responsible committee of UEFA failed, the club now wants to challenge the suspension at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

In a statement, the decision was heavily criticized for “sending the wrong message to the football world by punishing those who denounce and prosecute corruption”. If the suspension against Osasuna remains in effect, Athletic Bilbao will benefit from eighth place last season. (dti)
