Soccer-Serbia's stadium to be partially closed after fans' racism


(Reuters) - Serbia's stadium will be partially closed when they host Bulgaria in a Euro 2024 qualifier on Sunday as punishment for fans' racist behaviour during a 3-1 win over Montenegro last month, UEFA's appeals body said on Wednesday.

Serbia were originally told to play their next home game behind closed doors in an Oct. 31 verdict by UEFA's disciplinary body, but an appeal by the Serbian FA was partially upheld and the punishment downgraded.
