The club were banned from the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League after their president, Aziz Yildirim, was found guilty of match fixing and jailed for six years. 

Fenerbahce finished second in the Super Lig behind Galatasaray last season, a position that would ordinarily see them enter Europe's top competition. However, if they are again found guilty, their participation could be removed and handed to another club. 

But that may not be the Super Lig's third-placed side Besiktas, as they too have been hit with a UEFA charge, with a statement from the governing body explaining the reasons behind these sanctions. 

It read: "Following the investigation into alleged match-fixing activities involving Fenerbahce, the UEFA disciplinary inspector has now submitted his findings to the control and disciplinary body, in the context of disciplinary proceedings against this club and five club officials.

"This case will be heard by the UEFA control and disciplinary body on Saturday June 22.

"Proceedings have also been opened against Besiktas and two club officials in relation to match-fixing activities which are alleged to have taken place during the 2011 Turkish Cup final."

Proceedings have also been opened against Steaua Bucharest after their owner Gigi Becali was jailed for three years for offering a cash bribe to rival players to a throw a match.

UEFA said: "Proceedings have also been opened against Steaua Bucharest on the basis of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League regulations, relating to the admission criteria for participation in UEFA competitions."
