NYON, Switzerland - UEFA has rejected appeals by Serbia and Albania after their European Championship qualifying match was abandoned when a drone flying a political banner flew into the stadium.UEFAs appeals body on Tuesday upheld the original disciplinary sanctions: Albania forfeited the match for refusing to play on, and Serbia was deducted the three points from a 3-0 win by default.Sanctions can be challenged at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and the Albania football federation pledged to continue its legal fight.Play in Belgrade on Oct. 14 was stopped when a drone carrying an Albanian nationalist banner hovered above the pitch.A Serbia player pulled the banner down and Albanian players tried to protect it. In the resulting disorder, Serbian fans attacked Albania players.Historic tensions between the countries were fueled by Kosovo, an ethnic Albanian-dominated province, declaring independence from Serbia in 2008.UEFA also ordered Serbia to play two home qualifiers in an empty stadium.Serbia lost the first of those matches last month, 3-1 against Denmark. Its next home match in Group I is against Armenia on Sept. 4.In the five-team group, Denmark and Portugal currently hold the two automatic qualifying places for Euro 2016 in France.Albania is in third place, which guarantees at least advancing to a playoff.
