UEFA appeals against Serbia match sanctions

UEFA is to appeal against all the sanctions imposed in relation to the controversial Serbia v England Under-21 play-off in October, including the punishments imposed for racist abuse by Serbian supporters.

Serbia’s Under-21 side were ordered to play one match behind closed doors and the national federation were fined £65,000 in relation to the racist behaviour of their supporters during the match at the Mladost Stadium in Krusevac on October 16.
