The match-fixing case concerns the qualifying matches in the European Conference League against Armenian Alashkert in July 2023. Arsenal Tivat played 1–1 away in the first match but then lost 1–6 at home in the return match.
Uefa announces that the club is now banned from all European tournaments until and including the 2034/35 season. The club will also be fined 500,000 euros (over 5.6 million kronor).
Sports manager Ranko Krgovic and player Nikola Celebic are banned for life. In addition, several other players will receive a ten-year ban.
Uefa also announces that it will request that Fifa extend the bans so that they apply globally.
The penalty is the longest a club has received since FK Pobeda from North Macedonia received an eight-year ban in 2009.
