A statement on the European soccer governing body said: "As communicated on Friday 13 June, the disciplinary case regarding FC Porto and their entry to the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League season has been referred back to the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body.
"However, following the written grounds as sent by the UEFA Appeals Body, it can now be confirmed that FC Porto will be admitted to the UEFA Champions League in season 2008/09. This is essentially due to the proceedings in Portugal not having been finally concluded."
The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body suspended the Portuguese giants after being involved in an alleged bribery of referees in Portugal in 2003/2004.
Porto have been docked six points and weren't eligible to play in the Champions League. However Porto may be banned from next season's Champions League if they are officially condemned.
