Dragons Back In Champions League

FC Porto has been readmitted to the 2008-09 UEFA Champions League.

The UEFA Appeals Body decided last week to revoke Porto's one-year suspension from its competitions after hearing the appeal lodged by the Portuguese champions.

According to UEFA, it decided to refer the matter back to the Control and Disciplinary Body for reassessment, whose final decision on Porto's situation was due to be announced by August 1st in time for the Champions League draw.

The Dragons, along with Sporting, will be in the CL's Group Stage, while Vitoria de Guimaraes, a club that won promotion to the top flight just over one year ago, will compete in the third qualifying round.
