The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has slapped a €500,000 fine and a ten-year ban on Montenegrin club AK Arsenal Tivat over match-fixing. The club will not be able to participate in any competitions governed by UEFA until the 2034-35 season, including Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

Arsenal Tivat drew against Alashkert 1-1 in the first round before they faced a heavy loss of 6-1 in the second leg. UEFA stated that they will ask FIFA, world football's governing body, FIFA, to increase the ban to be applied in global competitions.

Arsenal Tivat banned from UEFA competitions for 10 years in match-fixing case
UEFA banned Montenegrin football club Arsenal Tivat for 10 years from European competitions on Wednesday in a match-fixing case and also banned a player and club official for life. The games in question were from the Europa Conference League qualifying round in July 2023 against Armenian club Alashkert. Arsenal Tivat drew the first leg 1-1 in Armenia before losing 6-1 at home in the return, including conceding two goals in stoppage time at the end of the game. UEFA did not specify how the integrity of the games was compromised, nor give details of gambling operations in the case. UEFA said Arsenal Tivat is banned up to and including the 2034-35 season and was fined 500,000 euros (USD 578,000). Sporting director Ranko Krgovic and player Nikola Čelebić were banned for life while three more players were banned by UEFA for 10 years: Cetko Manojlovic, Dusan Puletic, Radule Zivkovic. UEFA also banned two officials from the Radnicki Obrenovac club of Serbia: Milan Vignjevic for 10 years and Goran Janjusevic for six. Another person, Christos Psomiadis, was banned for eight years FIFA will be asked to extend the bans to apply globally, UEFA said. The 10-year ban for fixing games matched the punishment UEFA gave Skenderbeu of Albania in 2017. That investigation involved a Champions League qualifying game and Europa League group-stage games. UEFA banned Pobeda of Macedonia for eight years in 2009 for fixing Champions League qualifying games five years earlier. Related Topics UEFA
