Racism laws include ground closure and disqualification

The most recent Uefa sanctions to deal with racism state:

Step One

• "If one or more of a member association or club’s supporters engage in the behaviour described in paragraph 1, the member association or club responsible is punished with a minimum of a partial stadium closure."

Step Two

• "...a second offence is punished with one match played behind closed doors and a fine of €50,000."

Step Three

• "...any subsequent offence is punished with more than one match behind closed doors, a stadium closure, the forfeiting of a match, the deduction of points or disqualification from the competition."
