Court of Arbitration for Sport boots out FC Al Hilal appeal
UAE's Al Ahli players
Lausanne - Arab Today
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has rejected Al Hilal's appeal over an allegedly ineligible player which threatened to upset the AFC Champions League football final.
The Saudi club had raised alarm bells over the eligibility of Oussama Assaidi, who played for UAE's Al Ahli when they overcame Al Hilal in the semi-finals.
But the Swiss court rejected Al Hilal's complaint, upholding a ruling by the Asian Football Confederation appeal committee.
"Accordingly, the decision of the AFC Appeal Committee is confirmed and Al Ahli Club of the United Arab Emirates remains qualified for the 2015 AFC Champions League Final," CAS said in a statement.
Reasons were not immediately released for the decision, which clears Al Ahli to play Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande in the final's first leg on Saturday.

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
