Main Points
UEFA has imposed a €57,000 fine on the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) for incidents that occurred during the 6 October match against Spain, in which Spain won 2–1. The sanction, announced on 14 October, covers several breaches related to the behaviour of a section of Croatian supporters on the stands. The largest portion of the fine, €30,000, is for discriminatory conduct by Croatian fans. In addition, HNS must pay €23,000 for the use of pyrotechnics and €4,000 for blocking passageways on the terraces. A conditional measure is also attached: the capacity of the stadium for the next home UEFA match could be reduced by 20 percent. This reduction will not be applied automatically; it can be activated if a similar offence occurs within the next two years. Earlier, HNS had been fined €20,000 for the behaviour of its supporters at a match in Spain, and a conditional ban on ticket sales for the next home fixture was imposed, also valid for two years. The federation rejected its appeal against the €57,000 penalty, so the full amount remains in force, along with the possibility of further sanctions if similar incidents recur. UEFA also sanctioned the Spanish Football Federation. The Spanish federation was fined €7,500 for allowing supporters to enter the pitch after the 29 September match in Seville, where Spain defeated Croatia 4–1. In unrelated news, Dinamo Zagreb president Boban was seen reacting angrily in the maximum seat, as captured by cameras. Article source: Večernji List | Image credit: Večernji List
