The European football association Uefa has slapped the Ukrainian football association with fines again, a Russian website Champions news.
Fines have come from two cases where Ukrainian fans acted inappropriately in UEFA’s opinion.
During the qualifiers for the 2024 European Championship, Ukrainian supporters presented a sheet accusing Russia of terrorism.
According to UEFA the sheet was “political and provocative” and could not be accepted in the stands of a football match.
The result was 15,000 euro fines for the Ukrainian Football Association.
The second fine came this fall, when Ukraine played against Iceland in the World Cup qualifiers. At that time, supporters ran onto the field and lit torches in the stands.
The penalty was 19,000 euros.
