Due To Racist Behavior And Flares, A Total Of 78 Thousand Euros In Fines; Fenerbahçe Uefa Fine Details Announced
ISTANBUL / NYON, Switzerland – Fenerbahçe has received a heavy fine from UEFA following its recent matches in European competitions. An official statement from the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) reported that the Yellow-Navy club has been penalized a total of 78,000 euros (approximately 2.5 million TL) for various violations caused by its supporters. This Fenerbahçe UEFA Fine carries the risk of facing more severe sanctions in future matches.
💰 THE BREAKDOWN OF THE SANCTION
The Fenerbahçe UEFA Fine has been itemized according to different disciplinary offenses, signaling the potential for harsher future penalties against the club, such as partial stadium closure.
The fine breakdown is as follows:
| Violation Type | Fine Amount (Euro) |
| Racist and Discriminatory Behavior | 15,000 € |
| Damage to Facilities and Lighting of Flares | 30,000 € |
| Throwing Objects onto the Field | 25,000 € |
| Improper Conduct of the Team | 8,000 € |
| Total Fine | 78,000 € |
🚨 THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGE: RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION
While the largest portion of the total fine (€30,000) was attributed to damage to facilities and the use of flares, the €15,000 penalty for racist and discriminatory behavior represents the most serious warning for the club, given UEFA’s zero-tolerance policy.
- Increased Risk: UEFA can impose penalties beyond financial sanctions for repeated offenses of this nature, including partial or full stadium closures (playing behind closed doors). Therefore, Fenerbahçe will be immediately compelled to issue strong warnings to its supporters.
- Throwing Objects: The €25,000 fine for the frequently recurring offense of throwing objects onto the pitch demonstrates that UEFA considers such actions unacceptable.
🛡️ CLUB REACTION AND EXPECTATIONS
It remains to be seen whether the Fenerbahçe management will exercise its right to appeal the decision. However, the UEFA Disciplinary Body is known to rarely reverse its decisions in such matters.
The Fenerbahçe UEFA Fine decision necessitates that the club implement stricter measures concerning fan behavior to protect its European image and mitigate future financial costs.
