The parties had agreed to an expidited arbitration procedure with a hearing on 4 July 2016 in Lausanne.
The CAS Panel in charge of this matter has dismissed the appeal and has conformed the UEFA decision of 1 June 2016.
The arbitral award with the grounds will not be notified to the parties concerned in a few weeks and will be published on the CAS website.
