Rubin kazan was ban for 1 year by UEFA for financial cases

NYON, Switzerland AP — UEFA has banned Rubin Kazan from one season of European competition for breaking rules that monitor spending on player transfers and wages.

Rubin was banned from the next Champions League or Europa League it qualifies for on merit in the next two seasons, UEFA said on Thursday. The club can appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Rubin is fifth in the Russian league, two points behind second place, which gets direct entry into the Champions League groups.

In May 2014, Rubin agreed to a settlement with UEFA in the first round of Financial Fair Play judgments that also included deals with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Then, UEFA fined Rubin 3 million euros $3.5 million of competition prize money. A further 3 million euros $3.5 million was due for breaching the settlement.

UEFA did not specify how Rubin broke the rules.

Rubin played in the Champions League group stage in 2009 and ’10 — even winning at defending champion Barcelona 2-1 in October 2009 — though did not advance to the knockout rounds.

It last played in the Europa League in 2015-16, gaining entry only because Dynamo Moscow was excluded by UEFA for Financial Fair Play breaches. Rubin failed to advance from a group that included eventual runner-up Liverpool.
