UEFA Bans Red Star Belgrade Fans From Europa League Away Game Due to Racist Chants
UEFA imposed a two-year probation and a €62,500 fine on Red Star Belgrade due to repeated racist chants targeting Roma people during their match in Portugal.
- On Wednesday, UEFA banned fans of Red Star Belgrade from attending the club's next away Europa League game, judging racist behaviour and illicit chants as not fit for a sports event.
- During an away match in Portugal last week, supporters chanted slurs about Roma people and targeted Braga during a 2-0 defeat.
- UEFA fined Red Star Belgrade 62,500 euros and imposed a fresh two-year probationary period.
- Red Star already was on probation for a previous case of racist conduct and cannot sell tickets for its next away game at Sturm Graz on December 11.
- UEFA framed the measures by saying racist or discriminatory conduct and illicit chants are incompatible with sports events, combining a fine, two-year probation and ticket ban as stepped-up enforcement by UEFA disciplinary system.
