Algerian club JS Kabylie have won their appeal against a two-year African Champions League ban, after a player died during fan violence at a domestic match
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says it "annulled with immediate effect" the expulsion imposed by the Confederation of African Football last October.
The court says the African governing body tried to impose the ban without telling the club about the disciplinary hearing.
CAF "did not comply" with its own rules in trying to impose the ban, the court ruled.
Kabylie was banned after its striker Albert Ebosse suffered fatal head injuries following a home loss in the domestic league last August.
Kabylie qualified on merit for the African Champions League preliminary round by finishing second in Algeria's league
