Paris Saint-Germain lost its appeal Tuesday to be allowed to defend its League Cup title next season.
The French league banned PSG from the competition after some of its supporters displayed a banner describing people from northern France as "pedophiles, unemployed and inbreeds" at the final against Lens on March 29.
The French Olympic committee proposed Monday that the French Football Federation (FFF) lighten the punishment.
But the FFF said it "constituted a punishment appropriate for the particular nature and seriousness of the events."
The incident drew nationwide headlines and was witnessed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Stade de France match, which PSG won 2-1.
The government later ordered the disbanding of PSG's Boulogne Boys supporters' group, some of whom have far-right leanings.
