UEFA charge England and Turkey after brawl

UEFA have charged both the English and Turkish Football Associations for the improper conduct of their players after the now infamous tunnel bust-up during half-time of the Euro 2004 qualifier in Istanbul.

European football’s governing body have brought disciplinary action following a review of video evidence, the match reports from both referee and match observer and statements made to UEFA by both football associations.

No charges have been brought against individual players.

UEFA’s Control and Disciplinary Body will consider these charges – and a previously-announced charge against the Turkish FA relating to order in the stadium – at its next meeting on Thursday.
