CSKA Moscow punished for racist behaviour of fans

UEFA order CSKA Moscow to play their next European home match behind closed doors following racist abuse from the club's fans.

CSKA Moscow have been ordered to play their next European home match behind closed doors following racist abuse from the club's fans.

The sanction, which includes a £41,000 fine, comes after "multiple racist and far-right symbols" were displayed during the team's Champions League encounter with Viktoria Plzen on December 10.

The Russian club has been punished for the racist behaviour of their supporters in the past, including an incident involving Manchester City's Yaya Toure.

Toure was subjected to monkey chants during a Champions League tie at the Khimki Arena in October, resulting in a partial stadium closure for CSKA.

Meanwhile, Serbia's Under-21 team and Cypriot club Apollon Limassol have both been handed partial stadium closures for similar incidents.
