UEFA Fines Roma €20,000 and Hands Suspended Away Ticket Sanction Following Manchester Unrest

UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has imposed sanctions on AS Roma following supporter disturbances before and after the club’s recent Champions League fixture in Manchester. The Italian club has been fined €20,000 and handed a suspended penalty that could drastically reduce its away ticket allocation for future European matches.
The disciplinary ruling stems from crowd incidents surrounding the 3-2 Champions League defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford. In an official statement, European football’s governing body outlined the exact parameters of the potential restriction, noting that enforcing the sanction would result in a 50 per cent reduction of the standard visiting supporters' allocation, cutting it from 5 per cent to 2.5 per cent of the host stadium’s total capacity. However, the ticket sales restriction has been suspended for a two-year probationary period starting from the date of the ruling.
In the immediate term, travel arrangements for Giallorossi supporters remain unaffected, with the club retaining its full away ticket allocation for its upcoming Champions League trip to Paris.
