UEFA have confirmed they have opened “a full and thorough” investigation into the incidents which caused the abandonment of last night’s Euro 2012 qualifier between Italy and Serbia in Genoa.

UEFA are waiting for their match delegate’s report before acting following the riots which forced the abandonment of Italy’s game against Serbia after only six minutes.

The Italian Football Federation are awaiting further information regarding their Euro 2012 qualifier against Northern Ireland following the bomb blast in Derry this morning.
