Uefa has excluded troubled Spanish club Real Mallorca from European competition for the coming season.
Mallorca finished fifth in La Liga last season and qualified for the Europa League but Uefa said that its Control and Disciplinary Body had decided the club had not fulfilled the admission criteria.
"The licence of the club was not granted in accordance with the Uefa Club Licensing Regulations, 2008 edition, and the club has not fulfilled its obligations as defined in these regulations," Uefa said in a statement on its website.
Mallorca revealed in May that it had applied to go into voluntary administration in an effort to sort out its finances and the club is thought to have debts of about 85m Euros.
Mallorca has three days to decide whether to appeal against Uefa’s decision, which it said came as a surprise: "Real Mallorca profoundly regrets the disappointment this decision by Uefa, which is hard to understand and without precedent, will cause among our fans.”
