UEFA Sanctions Tottenham Over Supporter Misconduct

UEFA has issued disciplinary sanctions against Tottenham Hotspur and SK Sigma Olomouc following incidents involving supporter misconduct in recent European fixtures.

The rulings were handed down by UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) and relate to matches in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa Conference League respectively.

Tottenham Hotspur Fined and Away Ban Suspended

The case involving Tottenham stems from their 2–0 Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on January 28, 2026.

Spurs have been fined €30,000 for racist and/or discriminatory behaviour by supporters during the match. In addition, UEFA imposed a one-match ban on the sale of tickets to Tottenham’s away supporters in UEFA competitions. However, that ban has been suspended for a probationary period of one year from the date of the decision.

The North London club was also fined a further €2,250 for the throwing of objects.

Under UEFA’s disciplinary regulations, the suspended away ticket ban will only be enforced if a similar offence is committed during the one-year probationary period.

Sigma Olomouc Handed Suspended Partial Stadium Closure

In a separate case, Sigma Olomouc were sanctioned following their 1–1 Europa Conference League draw against FC Lausanne-Sport on February 19, 2026.

The Czech side were fined €10,000 and ordered to partially close the South Stand of their stadium for their next home UEFA match due to the lighting of fireworks. Like Tottenham’s sanction, the partial stadium closure has been suspended — in this instance for a probationary period of two years.

Sigma were also fined an additional €10,000 for the throwing of objects.

UEFA confirmed that disciplinary measures under probation are not immediately enforced but may be activated if a further offence of a similar nature occurs during the probationary period, in accordance with Article 26(3) of its Disciplinary Regulations.

The decisions serve as a continued warning from European football’s governing body regarding supporter behaviour, with clubs now operating under the threat of more severe consequences should further incidents arise.
