UEFA Reduces FK Arsenal Tivat's Ban from 10 to 7 Years
FK Arsenal Tivat's ban from UEFA club competitions has been reduced from 10 years to 7 years after the club's successful appeal against match-fixing charges. The Montenegrin club was initially fined €500,000, which has now been lowered to €400,000.
FK Arsenal Tivat's ban from UEFA club competitions has been reduced to seven years from the original 10 years. The Montenegrin club had appealed against match-fixing charges related to their Conference League qualifying tie with Alashkert FC in July 2023. As a result of the appeal, the club's fine has also been reduced from 500,000 euros to 400,000 euros.
The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) amended its July decision, which had imposed the longer ban. Additionally, goalkeeper Dusan Puletic's 10-year suspension has been annulled after he won his appeal. However, player Nikola Celebic and official Ranko Krgovic still face lifetime bans from football-related activities.
The reduced ban will run until the end of the 2031-32 season. This decision reflects UEFA's strict stance on match-fixing and corruption in football.
Dušan Puletić's 10-year suspension from football activities has been annulled. He was initially banned for a decade due to his alleged involvement in match-fixing during FK Arsenal Tivat's Conference League qualifying tie against Alashkert FC. Meanwhile, Nikola Čelebić, a player, and Ranko Krgović, an official, have received lifetime bans from football-related activities for their roles in the scandal.

Dušan Puletić's Suspension: Annulled, with UEFA ordered to refund the €1,000 appeal fee
