Euro 2024: UEFA Imposes Fines On Albania And Serbia For Nationalist Fan Banners
European Championship: UEFA has imposed 10,000 euros (USD10,700) fine on both the Albanian and Serbian football federations for the provocative display of nationalist maps during the ongoing European Championship matches.
The controversy erupted when Albanian fans unveiled a banner depicting a map with Albania's borders extending into the territories of neighbouring countries. This incident occurred during Albania's 2-1 defeat against Italy in Dortmund. Concurrently, Serbian supporters displayed a banner that included the disputed territory of Kosovo with the slogan "No Surrender" during their 1-0 loss to England in Gelsenkirchen.
This echoes a similar case prosecuted by FIFA at the 2022 World Cup when Serbian players were photographed with a comparable banner before a match against Brazil.
