Spurs fined and handed suspended away-fan ban after Nazi salutes

• UEFA fine Tottenham €30,000 and issue suspended ban on travelling supporters
• Club confirms three fans identified and handed indefinite bans
• Additional fine imposed for objects thrown by supporters

UEFA have fined Tottenham Hotspur €30,000 (£26,200/$35,100) and imposed a suspended ban on travelling fans after the club acknowledged Nazi salutes were made by a group of supporters.

As part of the disciplinary action, Tottenham have also been banned from selling tickets to away supporters for one UEFA competition match, although this punishment has been suspended for a one-year probationary period. In addition, the club must pay a further €2,250 (£1,960/$2,630) for the throwing of objects by fans.

The incident occurred during last month’s Champions League tie against Eintracht Frankfurt, after which UEFA launched an investigation.

In response to the sanctions, Spurs confirmed they have identified the individuals responsible and imposed the strongest possible punishment.

“The club has cooperated fully with UEFA’s investigation, as well as with German police on the night and, subsequently, the Met Police,” Tottenham said in a statement.

“We can confirm that all three individuals found to be making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have received indefinite bans under the club’s sanctions and banning policy.

“The club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the strongest possible action. The disgusting behaviour of a minority of so-called fans on the night is in no way reflective of the values of our club and its supporters.”

UEFA said the suspended ban will remain in place for a year, during which any further incidents could result in the punishment being enforced.
