Luzern want Sion result overturned

 Luzern have requested that they are awarded a 3-0 win from Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sion.

Swiss football is in turmoil over the issue of six signings made by Sion during the summer with civil courts, FIFA, UEFA and the CAS (Court Arbitration Sport) all involved in the issue.

Sion forced through a court ruling allowing them to field the ‘Sion Six’ against Luzern with Pascal Feindouno, Mario Mutsch and Gabri starting the match with former Hearts defender Jose Goncalves on the bench.

FIFA are adamant that Sion are banned from transfers during the current transfer window but under threat of a £16m action from Sion the Swiss FA didn’t contest the latest civil court action.

Luzern played Saturday’s match under protest with a meeting scheduled on Friday between the Swiss authorities and the clubs in an attempt to resolve the issue.

Sion have registered all six players for the matches with Celtic leaving UEFA to decide whether they go along with the FIFA transfer ban or comply with the ruling from the Swiss civil courts.
