Volos lose appeal against Europa ban

The decision means that Luxemburg's Differdange will take Volos's place in the Europa League qualifying round this week and host Paris Saint-Germain in their first leg on Thursday.

Volos are also banned from UEFA competition for a further three years, although this has been deferred for a probationary period of five seasons.

The Greek Super League's disciplinary committee last month voted to relegate Volos to the second division along with Kavala over the affair. Both teams appealed to the federation and were reprieved last week, although they will start the new season with points deductions.
