UEFA partially uphold CSKA Moscow’s appeal against sanctions imposed following their fans’ behaviour during the Champions League game in Rome.

The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body had ordered on October 3 that CSKA play their next three UEFA competition matches at home behind closed doors due to racist behaviour of their supporters, crowd disturbances, and the setting off/throwing of fireworks and missiles by their supporters.

UEFA partially uphold CSKA Moscow’s appeal against sanctions imposed following their fans’ behaviour during the Champions League game in Rome.

The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body had ordered on October 3 that CSKA play their next three UEFA competition matches at home behind closed doors due to racist behaviour of their supporters, crowd disturbances, and the setting off/throwing of fireworks and missiles by their supporters.

Today it was made public that the sentence has been upheld in part, by the UEFA Appeals Body, but that the latest of those three games will be suspended for a probationary period of five years.

The fine of €200,000 handed to the club has also been halved to €100,000.

The game against Roma, which will take place at Arena Khimki on November 25, will still be played behind closed doors as a consequence.

CSKA will then be able to play in front of their fans starting from their next UEFA competition match at home.

The Russian club remain banned from selling tickets to their fans for the next two away Champions League Group E games in Manchester and Munich.
