UEFA fines Roma and imposes suspended ticket restriction over Manchester disorder

What happened

UEFA's disciplinary commission has fined Roma 20,000 euros and imposed a partial restriction on the sale of tickets for the away section at one future away match in UEFA competitions, according to Corriere dello Sport. The ruling follows disorder involving Roma supporters before and after the club's game at Manchester.

Report details

The ticket sanction, as described in the decision cited by the newspaper, would cut the allocation normally reserved for away fans by 50 percent, from 5 percent to 2.5 percent of the opposing team's stadium capacity. The restriction is suspended for two years from the date of the decision, meaning it does not apply unless further problems occur within that period.

For the immediate future the ruling has no practical effect, the report says, including for the away trip to Paris, for which tickets were going on sale the same day. Around 2,500 tickets will be available to Roma fans at the Parco dei Principi, with the stadium at full capacity. The source presents the decision as reported by the disciplinary body and does not indicate any appeal.
