10 July 2015 – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued its decisions today in two appeal arbitration procedures arising from the UEFA European Championship qualifying Group I match between Serbia and Albania in Belgrade on 14 October 2014 (the Match).
The Football Association of Albania (FAA) and the Football Association of Serbia (FAS) filed appeals at the CAS against decisions issued by UEFA Appeals Body in which both associations were disciplined further to incidents which occurred during the Match. The matter was heard at hearings which took place in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 16 and 17 April 2015. The parties, their legal counsel, experts and witnesses were heard by the Panel of CAS arbitrators in charge of each procedure.
The CAS has partially upheld the appeal filed by the FAA against the decision of the UEFA Appeals Body taken on 2 December 2014, in which the decision taken by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (UEFA CEDB) on 23 October 2014 was confirmed.
