The European Football Association has expelled CSKA-Sofia FC from the European tournaments for a term of 2 years. CSKA ended second in the national championships but it is third-ranking Levski FC that is going to join Europa League qualifications. In a letter to the Bulgarian Football Union UEFA has said that the BFU request for an exception in connection with the legitimate participation of CSKA-Sofia FC in the European tournaments has been rejected.
