UEFA ‘parachutes’ severe sanctions to Fenerbahçe
UEFA has ordered Fenerbahçe to play without the attendance of fans again following an incident where the team’s supporters deployed flares into the stadium from outside using small parachutes during the UEFA Europa League last 32 second leg game against Belarus side BATE Borisov in Istanbul on Feb. 21.
Despite a UEFA ban, Fenerbahçe fans had gathered outside the stadium to support their team.
