Antisemitic fans land Union Berlin with partial stadium closure for next European game
November 2 – UEFA have hit Germany’s Union Berlin with a partial stadium closure for the antisemitic behaviour of some of its fans towards supporters of Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.
UEFA said it had concluded its disciplinary proceedings against Union “for the racist behaviour of its supporters” during the Europa Conference League game on September 30. The partial closure will be for Union’s next home game.
The match against Maccabi Haifa was the first game involving an Israeli team played at the Olympic stadium that was built for the 1936 Games hosted by Nazi Germany.
