UEFA wins legal case against Greek club Volos

UEFA says it has won its case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport against Greek club Volos, which was kicked out of the Europa League over links to match-fixing.

UEFA says the court dismissed Volos' appeal against its expulsion and a further three-season ban from European competition, deferred for five probationary years.

Volos was implicated in a Greek match-fixing investigation, and expelled by UEFA days before it was scheduled to face Paris Saint-Germain in the playoff round last August.

Europa League rules require that clubs have not helped fix a match in the previous five seasons.

Volos joins Romania's Timisoara and Switzerland's Sion in losing legal battles with UEFA over entry to its competitions this season.
