July 30, 2010 22:41 IST

UEFA rejected financially troubled Real Mallorca's appeal against their exclusion from this season's European competition.

"The UEFA Appeals Body has today dismissed the appeal ... and upheld the ... decision not to admit the Spanish club to the UEFA club competitions for the 2010/11 season," the governing body said on its website (www.uefa.com) on Friday.

Mallorca's licence had not been correctly awarded and the club, which is in administration, "did not sufficiently fulfil its financial obligations", UEFA added.
