KYIV – Ukrainian soccer’s governing body, the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF), has taken legal action for reprieve over a game against Switzerland in Europe’s Nations League tournament that was cancelled last month as a result of players testing positive for COVID-19 prior to the match.

The Lausanne-based Court of Arbitrat­ion for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland announced on December 11 that it had registered UAF’s appeal. It is usually considered the final judicial body for sport-related disputes, although a final appeal can be made to the Swiss Supreme Court.
