UEFA invites Sion to match schedule consultation

After having consulted the clubs in Group I of the UEFA Europa League, UEFA has now invited FC Sion to express its views on the potential impact of the club's possible reintegration in the UEFA Europa League, and on the match schedule in particular.

Respecting the process as announced, UEFA is pursuing its consultations with the clubs that could be affected by FC Sion's possible reintegration if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) should decide in favour of the club. UEFA has therefore invited the FC Sion management to discuss the possibilities.

If the CAS decides in favour of FC Sion in the dispute between UEFA and the Swiss club, the UEFA Europa League calendar may have to be adapted. The CAS wishes to hear both parties on 24 November.

If accepted by FC Sion, this consultation could take place next week.
