FK Arsenal Tivat's Europe ban cut to seven years
"In July the club was handed a 10-year ban by Uefa after an investigation into their 2023 Uefa Conference League first-round qualifying tie against Armenian side Alashkert. Arsenal Tivat drew 1-1 at Alashkert before being beaten 6-1 at home in the reverse fixture. The club's ban has now been reduced to seven years, while goalkeeper Dusan Puletic, who was also banned for 10 years, is free to play again after he won his appeal."
"In July Uefa found the club had breached article 11 of its disciplinary regulations relating to "general principles of conduct", and article 12 regarding the "integrity of matches and competitions and match-fixing". Player Nikola Celebic and official Ranko Krgovic were "banned from exercising any football-related activity for life" while three other players - Cetko Manojlovic, Radule Zivkovic and Puletic- were banned for 10 years. However, following the appeal to the Uefa Appeals Body, the club's ban will now run until the end of the 2031-32 season while the fine has been lowered to 400,000 (349,000). And Puletic's appeal has resulted in the Uefa Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body's decision from July being overturned, with his suspension annulled."
Uefa initially imposed a 10-year ban on Montenegrin club FK Arsenal Tivat after investigating their 2023 Uefa Conference League first-round tie against Armenian side Alashkert, where Arsenal Tivat drew 1-1 away and lost 6-1 at home. Uefa found breaches of article 11 (general principles of conduct) and article 12 (integrity of matches and match-fixing). The original sanction included a ban through 2034-35 and a €500,000 fine; Nikola Celebic and official Ranko Krgovic received lifetime bans and three players were given 10-year suspensions. Following an appeal, the club's ban was reduced to end of 2031-32, the fine cut to €400,000, and goalkeeper Dusan Puletic had his suspension annulled.
