Chelsea: UEFA fine club £11,100 for fans' improper behaviour

The Union of European Football Associations

Chelsea have been sanctioned for their fans’ improper behavior during the Europa League meeting with Malmo.


UEFA announced on Tuesday that the Blues have been handed a €13,000 (£11,100) fine after being found guilty.

In the Round of 32 first leg encounter where goals by Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud handed Chelsea a 2-1 away win, the club’s fans were seen throwing objects onto the field of play. There was also an incident of field invasions by the traveling supporters.

Relatively, their hosts Malmo were also hit with a £49,000 fine after their supporters were found guilty of throwing objects and setting off fireworks.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is yet to make headway in their appeal against a two-window transfer ban handed to the club by FIFA.

The club is set to be heard by FIFA on April 11 and remains positive as they have been told that the ruling on the transfer window would not be delayed until after their proposal had been heard.
