In the latest Football news, the Serbian Football Association has been handed a significant fine by UEFA following incidents during their Euro 2024 match against England. The Serbian FA has been ordered to pay a total of £12,250 (14,500 euros) after objects were thrown and a provocative message was displayed during the Group C encounter on 16 June.
According to the report, a complaint was made to UEFA by the Kosovo Football Federation regarding the display of a provocative message during England’s 1-0 victory over Serbia in Gelsenkirchen. The Serbian FA was fined £3,800 (4,500 euros) for the throwing of objects and an additional £8,450 (10,000 euros) for transmitting a “provocative message not fit for a sports event”.
