UEFA has announced a series of sanctions against Polish club Legia Warsaw in response to crowd disturbances preceding their Europa League match against Aston Villa last month.

Following clashes with the police outside the stadium, Legia fans were denied entry to the match in Birmingham on Nov. 30.

Aston Villa filed a complaint with UEFA regarding the behaviour of Legia's supporters.

The UEFA Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body has decided to impose a ban on Legia Warsaw, prohibiting the sale of tickets to their away supporters for the next five UEFA games.

The ban is a consequence of crowd disturbances, acts of damage, the throwing of objects, and the lighting of fireworks.

In addition to the ban, Legia has been fined €100,000 ($107,880) and is required to contact Aston Villa within 30 days for the settlement of damages caused by their supporters.

UEFA has also issued a €20,000 fine to the Ukrainian Football Association for the racist behaviour of their supporters during the Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy.

The governing body has ordered a partial stadium closure during the Ukrainian team's next home UEFA competition match.
