Roma Fined 20,000 Euros by UEFA Over Fan Incidents
UEFA has fined Roma 20,000 euros over a clash between fans and police during the team's away match at Manchester United. A partial restriction on ticket allocation for Roma's next away European match has also been imposed, but it has been suspended for two years.
The UEFA disciplinary committee has fined Roma 20,000 euros. The fine followed clashes between Giallorossi supporters and police after the Champions League match away at Manchester United on 3 November.
According to a report in Gazzetta, Roma also received a second sanction. This sanction could affect a future away match in Europe. UEFA restricted the share of tickets allocated to away fans, raising the limit from 2.5 percent to 5 percent. However, this restriction has been suspended for two years and will only take effect if new incidents occur during the probation period.
Roma's match at Paris Saint-Germain on 25 November is being treated as high risk by local authorities. Concerns have been raised because of the fraternal ties between PSG and Napoli fan groups, and because 13 people were detained after incidents involving Roma fans before their last away match in France, against Nice. The number of away tickets for the PSG-Roma match has been cut from 2,376 to 1,500. It has been reported that French authorities could close the away section at the Parc des Princes completely if security risks increase in the coming weeks.
