Europe's football governing body UEFA have announced that Spanish Primera Division side Real Mallorca will not be given permission to play in the Europa League in the 2010-11 season.
Mallorca finished fifth in the Spanish top flight last season and by rule were supposed to feature in the upcoming Europa League campaign. However, the Balearic club has been struggling financially and UEFA have now decided that the Islanders do not meet the criteria to play in the competition.
