Atletico Madrid has taken a drastic step, barring season ticket holders from attending the club’s next five away matches. This decision comes in response to two separate sanctions from UEFA and the RFEF, stemming from incidents of fan misconduct. The club seeks to repair its image and identify those responsible.
Croatia has been fined a record 105,000 euros by UEFA for fan misconduct during their Euro 2024 elimination game against Italy. The fine, the largest announced at the tournament, comes on top of a separate investigation into alleged racism by both sets of fans. Croatia was also fined for incidents in their previous game against Albania.
UEFA has charged Serbia for fan behavior during their Euro 2024 match against England, citing provocative messages and objects thrown during the game. A separate investigation is underway regarding alleged discrimination by Serbian fans, spurred by a complaint from Kosovo’s football federation. The charges could result in fines, while the investigation could lead to more severe sanctions.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton has disclosed that his younger brother was subjected to a racial slur from a fan during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Haliburton stated that it was crucial for his family to address this incident, which had a profound impact on them. The Bucks have responded by acknowledging that a complaint was made by a fan about a derogatory term being used towards him, but the accused person denied the accusation. The Bucks emphasized their commitment to providing a safe and secure fan environment.
