Spurs slapped with Champions League ban and charge over ‘Nazi salutes’ | Football | Sport

UEFA have fined Tottenham and slapped the club with a suspended ban on away supporters for a forthcoming UEFA competition fixture following reports that three of their fans performed Nazi salutes at Frankfurt in January. The club faced sanctions after a trio of supporters made the gestures in Germany during Spurs’ 2-0 Champions League triumph against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Those supporters are understood to have been prohibited by the club following the incident and now the ruling of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) has been revealed. The CEDB confirmed they have opted “to fine Tottenham Hotspur €30,000 and to ban Tottenham Hotspur from selling tickets to its away supporters for the next one UEFA competition match, for the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters.

“Said ban from selling tickets to its away supporters is suspended for a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of the present decision. To fine Tottenham Hotspur €2,250 for throwing of objects.”

Under then manager Thomas Frank, Tottenham secured victory in the German fixture with strikes from Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke, which allowed them to claim fourth position in the Champions League standings.

This advancement to the round of 16 will see interim head coach Igor Tudor guide the north London club against Atletico Madrid.

The first leg is scheduled for Tuesday, 10 March in the Spanish city, whilst the return fixture will be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, 18 March.
