Swiss Football Association
The Swiss Football Association deducted 36 points from FC Sion. Three points were deducted for each of the 12 league and cup matches in which one or more of the six ineligible players appeared. The 36 points deduction left FC Sion in last place and minus 5 points. FIFA had threatened to suspend the Swiss Football Association if there was no action against FC Sion. This meant that all national teams and clubs under the jurisdiction of the Swiss Football Association would not be allowed to participate in any FIFA and UEFA competition.
