UEFA has decided to fine England midfielder Jude Bellingham for an inappropriate gesture he made after scoring in their 2-1 win over Slovakia at Euro 2024. Bellingham has also received a suspended ban.

The Real Madrid star made the lewd gesture after his dramatic late equalizer, later explaining that it was an “inside joke.”

In a statement on Friday, UEFA announced: “The English Football Association player Jude Bellingham is fined €30,000 and suspended for one UEFA competition match for violating basic rules of decent conduct. The suspension is not immediately enforced and is subject to a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of this decision.”

England will face Switzerland in the quarter-final on Saturday.
