EURO 2024: UEFA BANS SEVEN COUNTRIES FOR RACIST CHANTS
UEFA have announced bans and fines for seven countries who participated at Euro 2024 because of discriminatory behaviour by their fans.
Some of the matches at the tournament were marred by incidents of racism and offensive chanting.
UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB), in a press statement on Wednesday, confirmed the charges for seven national federations over incidents which relate to a total of 17 games.
Firstly, Croatia have been fined £41,978 and banned from selling tickets to their away fans for their next UEFA competition match, due their supporters’ racist and discriminatory behaviour in all three of their Group B fixtures.
The Romanian FA have been handed a £33,583 fine and will also be banned from selling tickets to away supporters for their next UEFA match after similar incidents across three of their games.
Albania have also been charged with racist and discriminatory behaviour during their group-stage games against Croatia and Spain. They have been fined £25,183 and given them a one-UEFA match ban from selling tickets to their away supporters, suspended for a probationary period of two years.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian, Slovenian and Serbian federations have all received the same punishment for their fans’ racist and discriminatory behaviour.
