ROME (Reuters) - Juventus will appear in front of the Italian Olympic Committee's arbitration court on October 11 to try to reduce the sanctions imposed against the club following a match-fixing scandal, the committee said on Thursday.

Lazio and AC Milan will also appear before the court on that day, while Fiorentina's case will be discussed on October 12, the CONI committee said on its Web site.

The four clubs were punished by a soccer tribunal for their involvement in the scandal and have since launched a series of appeals before sport authorities to have the sanctions reduced.

Juventus, who were stripped of their last two Serie A titles and were demoted to Serie B with a 17-point deduction, had initially said they would appeal to a civil court.

They later dropped that option, saying they would instead bring the case to the CONI arbitration court.

Milan began the season with an eight-point penalty, Fiorentina began on minus 19 points with Lazio on minus 11.
