NYON, Switzerland (AP) — UEFA removed Azerbaijani club Turan Tovuz from next season's Conference League because of past match-fixing by players, the European soccer body said Wednesday.
The club said in a statement it will challenge the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Turan finished third in the Azerbaijani league to earn a place in the second qualifying round of the third-tier Conference League. The draw is made in two weeks and first-leg games are on July 23.
Entry rules for the Conference League require clubs “not have been directly and/or indirectly involved” in fixing domestic or international games in the previous 10 years.
Seven Turan players were banned in 2019 by the Azerbaijani soccer federation, the club acknowledged in a statement.
Teams playing in qualifying for the Conference League season include Ajax, Atalanta, Brighton, Freiburg and Monaco.

The government thinks it can fix everything, there is no superglue. How about if the city fixed the streets and filled the 10,000 potholes
