The European Football governing body Uefa has slammed a 10-year ban on FK Arsenal Tivat from European competition.
Naija News understands that the 10 years ban was placed on the disgraced club after an investigation into allegations of match-fixing involving the Montenegrin club.
UEFA also extended the ban to a number of players and officials of Arsenal Tivat.
According to reports, the European football body has written to the FIFA, world football governing body, to extend the ban worldwide.
UEFA stated that the external punishment, which also includes a €500,000 (£433,000) fine and runs up to and including the 2034-35 season, was in relation to a Conference League qualifying tie between Armenian side Alashkert and Arsenal Tivat in July 2023.
Arsenal Tivat drew 1-1 at Alashkert before being beaten 6-1 at home in the reverse fixture.
Uefa said Arsenal Tivat had violated article 11 of its disciplinary regulations which refers to “general principles of conduct” and article 12 which covers the “integrity of matches and competitions and match-fixing”.
Arsenal Tivat player Nikola Celebic and official Ranko Krgovic were “banned from exercising any football-related activity for life”.
Three other players, Cetko Manojlovic, Dusan Puletic and Radule Zivkovic, were also banned for 10 years.
