UEFA has announced bans and fines for seven countries that participated in Euro 2024 due to discriminatory behavior by their fans. Several matches at the tournament were marred by incidents of racism and offensive chanting, prompting action from UEFA’s Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body (CEDB).
In a press statement released on Wednesday, the CEDB confirmed the charges against seven national federations, involving incidents across a total of 17 games. Croatia has been fined £41,978 and banned from selling tickets to their away fans for their next UEFA competition match due to racist and discriminatory behavior by their supporters in all three of their Group B fixtures.
Similarly, the Romanian FA has been fined £33,583 and will also be banned from selling tickets to away supporters for their next UEFA match following comparable incidents in three of their games. Albania faced charges for racist and discriminatory behavior during their group-stage matches against Croatia and Spain, resulting in a £25,183 fine and a one-match ban on selling tickets to their away supporters, suspended for a probationary period of two years.
