NEW YORK, Switzerland (AP) – UEFA on Thursday banned Czech club midfielder Kalvina from next season’s European competition due to their involvement in a domestic match-fixing scandal.<\/p>\n

czech cup winner Calvina had already been exiled.<\/span> On June 16, he was expelled from the top division by the Czech Football Association.<\/p>\n

The association’s ethics committee also fined Calvina 10 million Czech crowns (approximately $480,000) for offering bribes to two referees and two players to influence a league match and two relegation play-offs involving the club in 2024.<\/p>\n

The club did not appeal.<\/p>\n

By winning this cup, Calvina advances directly to the fourth qualifying round of next season’s Europa League. However, UEFA announced that another Czech club, FC Viktoria Plzen, would take his place.<\/p>\n

If Plzen lose in the qualifying round, they will qualify for the third-tier Conference League instead.<\/p>\n

in march<\/span>The Czech Association announced that a total of 47 individuals and teams, including referees, officials, players, former players and clubs from the top four leagues, are under disciplinary investigation for their alleged involvement in the match-fixing scandal.<\/p>\n
