MOSCOW, June 19 (Reuters) - Dynamo Moscow have been banned from next season's Europa League after failing to comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules, European soccer's governing body said on Friday.

Dynamo, who qualified for the Europa League after finishing fourth in the Russian championship, have been banned from European competition for one season.

"Dynamo Moscow will be excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition... because it has failed to comply with the break-even requirement set out in Articles 58 to 63 of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations," UEFA said in a statement.
