UEFA have confirmed that seven nations have been punished for the discriminatory behaviour of their supporters at Euro 2024 this summer. Germany hosted a successful tournament - won by Spain earlier this month - but fan behaviour, including racism and other offensive chanting, marred several matches.
Almost two weeks after Spain lifted their fourth Euros crown by beating England at Berlin's Olimpiastadion, European football's governing body has cracked down on the reported incidents.
A press release on Wednesday confirmed that the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) had charged seven federations for incidents across 17 games.

Following an evaluation, UEFA confirmed both players had been charged with "general principles of conduct, violating the basic rules of decent conduct, using sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature, and bringing the sport of football, and UEFA in particular, into disrepute."
