Fenerbahce have been banned from next season's Champions League over match-fixing charges.
UEFA has banned the club from European football for three seasons in total, although the ban for the third season in which they qualify is deferred for a probationary period of five years.
Fellow Turkish outfit Besiktas have been suspended for one season by UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body (CDB), meaning they will be barred from next term's Europa League.
Both bans are connected with match-fixing in domestic games in 2011 and it is Fenerbahce's second exclusion from Europe's top competition after they were banned from the 2011-12 Champions League due to the scandal.
The clubs have the opportunity to appeal the decisions of the CDB to the UEFA Appeals Body.

Two clubs run by absolute idiots, what a way for Besiktas to celebrate a new stadium.
