A Swiss regional court ordered UEFA to reinstate FC Sion to the Europa League or be fined 1,000 francs for each day it refuses to implement the ruling.

“After having heard both parties, the Canton Vaud civil court once again rejected UEFA and found in favour of FC Sion,” said the Swiss club. “The order is once again to UEFA to reinstate the team to the group 1 of the Europa League immediately and to consider its players as eligible for the competition.

“UEFA will have to pay a fine of 1,000 francs for every day that it fails to execute the order of the judge,” added the club.

UEFA has also been ordered to pay legal fees of 21,400 francs.
