Challenge League: Bellinzona’s forfeit defeat confirmed

The Swiss Football League’s Court of Appeal confirmed the decision of the Disciplinary Committee to convert Bellinzona’s 2-1 win against Wil in the first round of the Challenge League into a 0-3 forfeit.

The disciplinary committee declared the forfeit on August 12. As a reminder: In the game against Wil, Bellinzona listed eight non-locally trained players on the match sheet instead of the maximum permitted seven.

Since the decision is now legally binding, the Challenge League rankings have been officially adjusted. Bellinzona drops from 2nd to 5th place, while Wil improves from 10th to 7th place.
