West Ham United have been formally charged by UEFA in response to the behavior of their fans during the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina.
The incident occurred when Fiorentina’s captain, Cristiano Biraghi, was struck on the head by a plastic cup thrown from the section occupied by West Ham supporters while he was preparing to take a corner in the first half.

In addition to this charge, West Ham is also facing accusations of field invasion.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, has received two charges relating to the ignition of fireworks and throwing objects.
The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) will be responsible for reviewing the case and making a decision in the near future.
