FIFA president Sepp Blatter condemns Serbia, Albania violence

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has condemned the violence that saw Tuesday's Euro 2016 qualifier between Serbia and Albania abandoned in Belgrade.

Both sets of players were involved in a mass brawl after a drone carrying an Albanian flag flew onto the pitch during the first half at the Partizan Stadium.

UEFA have since opened disciplinary proceedings against the two teams.

Football should never be used for political messages. I strongly condemn what happened in Belgrade last night

UEFA are expected to finish their investigation into the matter in around two weeks.
