UEFA Slaps Hajduk Split With Fine After Fan Hooliganism
The Croatian outfit will have to pay a €40,000 fine...
UEFA have confirmed in an official statement that it has sentenced Hajduk Split to pay a fine of €40,000 because of fan hooliganism during the match with Slovak outfit Zilina in a Europa League qualifier in Split in August.
Danish UEFA official Christian Kofoed reported that Hajduk fans had thrown torches and other pyrotechnic devices onto the pitch during the game.
Furthermore, Hajduk Split have also been fined because of a fans' banner reading "We care about football - Slovak brutality," with the word 'football' crossed out.
Hajduk lost the encounter against Zilina 2-1 on aggregate and were eliminated in the early stages of the Europa League.
Croatian football has been plagued by football hooliganism for more than ten years now. Clubs have paid more than €1 million in fines for fan hooliganism since 1997.
