Manchester United could return to this season's Champions League if the Swiss Football Association fails to comply with Fifa and punish FC Sion.
Sion were thrown out of the Europa League for fielding ineligible players in their match against Celtic.
The Swiss FA has until 13 January to act and Fifa has threatened to suspend Switzerland and their club sides.
If the ban took effect, FC Basel would be ejected from the Champions League and United could be reinstated.
The Swiss champions knocked Sir Alex Ferguson's side out of European football's elite competition and into the Europa League, earning a 3-3 draw at Old Trafford before winning the home match 2-1.
Sion were put under a transfer embargo over the signing of Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, but proceeded to sign six players in the summer.
