\"EPL:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City will now participate in European competitions next season after the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) lifted the two-year ban handed to the club by UEFA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Premier League champions were in February handed a two-season European ban after they were found to have committed \u201cserious breaches\u201d of Uefa\u2019s club licensing and financial fair play regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAS announced on Monday that the club were cleared of \u201cdisguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions\u201d adding that it found \u201cinsufficient conclusive evidence to uphold all the conclusions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court however admitted that City did \u201cfail to cooperate with Uefa authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man City\u2019s fine has also been cut from 30m euros to 10m euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the verdict, City said in a statement: \u201cWhilst Manchester City and its legal advisors are yet to review the full ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the club welcomes the implications of today\u2019s ruling as a validation of the club\u2019s position and the body of evidence that it was able to present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe club wishes to thank the panel members for their diligence and the due process that they administered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pep Guardiola side are currently second in the Premier League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
