GENEVA, March 16 — The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Uefa’s ban on Russian teams taking part in its competitions while CAS deliberates on the case, it said on Tuesday.

The decision meant that Spartak Moscow could not play their Europa League match against club RB Leipzig, allowing the German club to advance to the quarter-finals.
“The CAS decisions on the ... requests to stay the execution of the Fifa decisions for the duration of the CAS proceedings are likely to be issued at the end of this week,” it added.
