UEFA fines Shakhtar Donetsk and AEK Larnaca for discriminatory behaviour by supporters during UEFA Conference League matches. UEFA says Shakhtar is fined after crowd conduct linked to discrimination during its game against Crystal Palace. UEFA also reports that AEK Larnaca faces a fine of €50,000 and an additional disciplinary measure: a partial closure of its stadium for its next UEFA club competition home fixture. UEFA’s statement frames the sanctions as consequences of discriminatory behaviour by fans in the relevant matches. The governing body does not indicate any change in competitive outcomes from the matches themselves, but instead imposes financial and stadium-access restrictions for forthcoming UEFA home games involving the affected clubs. The sanctions reflect UEFA’s regulatory approach to crowd-related offences, including discrimination. Both clubs are subject to UEFA disciplinary procedures following the incident reports related to their respective supporter sections during the Conference League matches involving Crystal Palace.
