Tottenham given suspended ban and fine after fans make Nazi salutes
Tottenham have been fined €30,000 (£26,200) and handed a suspended ban from selling tickets to away fans after supporters made Nazi salutes during a Champions League match.
The sanction follows a Uefa investigation into discriminatory behaviour during the fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany.
European football’s governing body found three supporters guilty of the offensive gestures inside Deutsche Bank Park.
Probationary period
The ban on selling tickets to away supporters has been suspended for a probationary period of one year.
This restriction will be triggered immediately should there be a repeat of the racist behaviour by the club’s followers.
Spurs have also received a separate fine of €2,250 (£1,965) relating to the throwing of objects during the same fixture.
crowd conduct
The north London club secured a victory in the match itself, helping to seal their automatic qualification to the last 16 of the competition.
However, the behaviour of a minority of the travelling contingent has marred the European campaign.
Uefa’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body holds a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding racist or discriminatory conduct in stadiums.
