Fines for racist behavior of fans have become commonplace for Russian clubs in European competition. Did not escape punishment and Moscow “Dynamo”, which will match with the “Omonia” partially closed stands.
The Disciplinary Committee of UEFA punished Moscow “Dynamo” for the racist behavior of fans during a match of the third qualifying Moscow round of the Europa League with the “Hapoel”. The game ended with a tie score – 1: 1.
What specific actions of the Moscow fans have caused such a reaction, according to UEFA.
next house meeting under the auspices of, the match play-off round of the Europa League with Cyprus “Omonia”, white and blue will hold a partially closed stands. Sector D-2, which are usually located most active fans of the club, will be empty.
game with Dynamo “Omonia” will be held on August 28 at “Arena Khimki».
Earlier, under penalty UEFA similar occasion this season were the Georgian “Chihura”, Romanian “Steaua”, Hungarian “Debrecen” and Slovenian “Maribor”. All four teams were obliged to partially close a few stands of their home stadium for one game in European competition.
In last year’s Champions League for the behavior of their fans was punished twice CSKA Moscow.
October 30, 2013 UEFA punished red and blue partial closure of the stadium “Arena Khimki” for the incident, which occurred during a match with “Manchester City”. Footballer mankuniantsev Yaya Toure said that the army fans insulted him from the stands, simulating “hoot” monkeys and shouting racist slogans.
CSKA president Yevgeny Giner has categorically denied the charges, suggesting that the sounds from the podium were the fruit of the imagination Yaya Toure . He also added that the referee Ovidiu Hatsegana thus sought to avoid responsibility for his admission of blunders. According to Giner, CSKA playing a lot of black players, and therefore illogical to blame the fans club of racism.
However, UEFA has not listened to all these guesses and assumptions, and the next home match of the Champions League game with Munich “Bavaria” on November 27 Muscovites spent with partially closed stands.
In February 2014 the army team and all had to play a match without spectators. The Control and Disciplinary Body of UEFA club punished for racist chants of fans and a demonstration of the ultra symbols on the sectors of the match with the Czech “Victoria.” CSKA also fined € 50 thousand.
European sports officials stressed that such severe sanctions are applied, taking into account previous antics army of fans.
In a way, funny story in the same season occurred with “Zenith”, which is December 11, 2013 as part of the group round of the Champions League gave away the Austrian “Austrii” (1: 4) and received a punishment from UEFA on several items, including for the racist behavior of fans of the club.
But if on the pyrotechnics and unrest in the stands among the Russians did not have any issues (St. Petersburg fans really behave at a party at home), what was expressed their racism, it is not clear.
Most likely, as journalists found out from St. Petersburg, UEFA wrote in “racist” banner with the inscription «USHAKI» and supposedly occult picture of the sun on a black background. However, the word meant only village Ushakov Tosnensky District of Leningrad Oblast, and the pattern is hardly had to do with Nazi symbols and probably meant all the same locality.
Note that the international football federation in recent years, are very sensitive to the issue of racism and FIFA President Joseph Blatter in May this year suggested as possible tougher punish clubs for such antics in the stadiums.
«I am very angry because of the existence of racism in stadiums. Clubs should be punished removing glasses or decrease in divisions »,
– said the head of the federation.
