FCSB has been fined by UEFA following incidents that occurred during the recent match against Shkendija in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers. According to official reports, the disciplinary action was taken due to inappropriate behavior from a section of the Romanian club’s supporters, which included the use of prohibited pyrotechnics, offensive banners, and chants deemed discriminatory by UEFA regulations. These actions violated the governing body’s strict rules on fan conduct, leading to a significant financial penalty for the Bucharest side.
The sanction comes at a delicate moment for FCSB, as the team is preparing for their next crucial European match against Drita. UEFA has also issued a stern warning, stating that any repeat of such incidents could result in more severe consequences, including partial or full stadium closures. This would be a major blow for the club, especially given the importance of home support in European competitions.
Club officials have urged fans to show passion in a responsible manner, respecting UEFA’s regulations to avoid jeopardizing the team’s chances. The situation adds extra pressure on both the players and management, as they aim to secure qualification while avoiding further disciplinary issues that could impact their European campaign.
