UEFA to Russia: Any more trouble and you’ll be out of Euro 2016
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussia will be disqualified from the European Championship if there is more violence by their fans inside stadiums in France, UEFA says, in a disciplinary panel ruling to punish assaults by Russian fans who charged a section of England supporters after the teams’ opening match in Marseille last week.
Russia will be expelled if its fans attack rival fans or stadium security staff at its two remaining Group B matches, or later at Euro 2016 if the team advances.
Russia’s “disqualification is suspended until the end of the tournament,” UEFA says. “Such suspension will be lifted if incidents of a similar nature (crowd disturbances) happen inside the stadium at any of the remaining matches of the Russian team during the tournament.”
Russia plays Slovakia in Lille on tomorrow and Wales in Toulouse next Monday.
