ZURICH (Reuters) - UEFA has lifted its threat to ban Olympique de Marseille from European competition if there is a repeat of the violence which marred their Europa League campaign last season.

However, last season's Europa League runners-up still have to play their next home European match behind closed doors, the European soccer body said in a statement on Monday.
