CA Osasuna threatens exclusion from European Cup – match fixing 9 years ago

Allegations against Spanish federation

The Spanish first division club CA Osasuna threatens according to their own statements the exclusion from the UEFA Europa Conference League in the coming season. As the club from Pamplona explained, they had received a corresponding notification from the European Football Union. The reason given was match-fixing in 2014.

In 2020, professionals, officials and entrepreneurs were therefore sentenced by a court to sometimes long prison terms. It was about the fact that two professionals from Real Betis had been paid money so that the Andalusians made a special effort on the penultimate day of the 2013/2014 season against Osasuna’s rival Real Valladolid (4: 3).

Cup finalist Osasuna secured their place in the next edition of Europe’s smallest club competition for the first time last season by finishing seventh in the table. Now the club announced that they want to fight the possible exclusion “to the last consequence”. An appeal will be lodged with the relevant UEFA committee. The European governing body ignored the fact that the Spanish judiciary in the 2020 criminal case described the club as a “victim” of the machinations of some officials.

At the same time, the club raised serious allegations against the Spanish football association RFEF, which had behaved neutrally in the dispute. For its part, the association reacted with outrage. “The RFEF states that it is a disgrace, a lack of respect and a very serious act that the club is trying to implicate the RFEF in this matter,” the statement said. The RFEF supported Osasuna very well in the matter.
