Italian club, SSC Napoli have won their appeal against the 3-0 forfeit defeat to Serie A champions, Juventus.
It means that the subsequent one-point penalty which the Naples club was hit with has also been rescinded.
The game has now been rescheduled and will now be played in 2021.
Napoli did not honour the fixture in Turin in October and were also docked a point by Serie A as a result.
The Partenopei argued they were banned from travelling by local health authorities as Piotr Zielinski, Eljif Elmas and a member of staff had tested positive for COVID-19.
Juventus also reported two positive cases among staff a day before the game but made clear they intended to play the match at the Allianz Stadium.
Andrea Pirlo named a starting XI but the game did not go ahead due to Napoli’s absence and was officially abandoned, but the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) ruled the Partenopei had ignored the coronavirus protocols in place, which states a team must fulfil an fixture if they have 13 available players, including a goalkeeper.
Napoli refused to drop the matter and took the case to the Italian National Olympic Committee’s (CONI) Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport – the highest sports authority in the country – and it ruled in the club’s favour on Tuesday.
A statement on behalf of the Collegio di Garanzia confirmed the punishment had been “cancelled without postponement”.
