Milan to Officially Play in 2018-19 Europa League After CAS Overturns Ban

AC Milan's ban from next season's UEFA Europa League has been overturned following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

As reported by Football Italia, Milan had initially been barred from the competition due to a breach of financial fair play regulations. It's added there were also concerns about the club's owner Yonghong Li.

However, following a change in ownership—Elliott Management have since taken over—CAS has decided to allow Milan back into European football's second tier competition, noting that the sanctions need to be more "proportionate."
