UEFA confirm Sion's Europa ban appeal

The Swiss club's hearing will be heard by UEFA's Appeals Committee next Tuesday, two days before this season's group stage starts.

Sion were kicked out of the Europa League last week after UEFA ruled they had fielded ineligible players in a play-off against Celtic, who took their place.

On Thursday Sion's attempt to appeal against their expulsion to a local court was rejected as the court ruled it was outside their jurisdiction.
