National football associations represented in this summer’s European Championship have been fined more than €1.2million by organisers UEFA during the tournament group stages.
The fines, which total €1,293,645 (£1,097,328; $1,635,123), relate to the national side’s supporters during the matches, but host nation Germany were fined twice for their failure of “protection of the playing area” — relating to supporters entering the pitch in the game — during Portugal’s group stage matches against Turkey and Georgia respectively.
Eight teams — Hungary, Switzerland, Croatia, Albania, Poland, Serbia, Romania and Belgium — received fines for their fans’ behaviour during all three of their respective group-stage matches.
21 of the 24 nations were fined at least one during the group stages, with only France, Spain and Slovakia not being fined by European football’s governing body.
