(Reuters) – Barcelona have been banned from selling tickets to their fans for their next Champions League away game after their supporters were found guilty of racist behaviour during their match against Monaco, governing body UEFA said on Friday.
“The Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) has decided to order the enforcement of the suspended disciplinary measure imposed by the UEFA Appeals Body in its decision on 17 April 2024 for the racist behaviour of its supporters, i.e. to ban FC Barcelona from selling tickets to its away supporters for the next UEFA competition match in accordance with Article 26(3) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations,” UEFA said in a statement.
Barcelona were fined 10,000 euros and were also handed an additional one match ban from selling tickets to their away supporters that was suspended for one year.
Monaco beat Barcelona 2-1 at their Louis-II stadium last week.
Barca’s next away game is in Belgrade against Red Star on Nov. 6.
