The Serbia v Albania match[لغات أخرى] was abandoned with the score at 0–0 shortly before halftime after "various incidents", which resulted in the Albania players refusing to return to the field. UEFA ruled that Albania had forfeited the match and awarded a 3–0 win to Serbia, but also deducted three points from Serbia for their involvement in the events. Serbia must also play their next two home qualifying games behind closed doors, and both the Serbian and Albanian FAs were fined €100,000.[11] Both the Serbian and Albanian football associations were looking to have the decision revisited,[12][13] but the decision was upheld by UEFA.[14] Both associations then filed further appeals to the محكمة التحكيم الرياضية,[15] and on 10 July 2015 the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected the appeal filed by the Serbian FA, and upheld in part the appeal filed by the Albanian FA, meaning the match is deemed to have been forfeited by Serbia with 0–3 and they are still deducted three points.[16] Serbian FA announced appeal at the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.[17]
