WARSAW, June 23: The Russian FA has been fined 35,000 euros ($43,900) after fans set off and threw fireworks and displayed illicit banners during their team’s final group match against Greece at the National Stadium on June 16, UEFA said on Saturday.

The Russian FA was fined 30,000 euros for similar incidents as well as for a supporter entering the pitch when Russia played co-hosts Poland on June 12, an occasion marred by fighting amongst supporters before and after the match in Warsaw.

The Russians were also fined 120,000 euros when about 30 fans attacked stewards in Wroclaw leaving four hurt following their 4-1 win over the Czech Republic on June 8.

On Friday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry urged Poland to release Russian fans detained 10 days ago after street battles with Poles on the night their teams met in a Euro 2012 match.

However, Poland’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the matter would be dealt with in line with the law.—Reuters
