The European Football Federation fines Maribor for rampage in Ljudski vrt: Maribor got away with it, only Fenerbahce was upset!
European Football Association
(UEFA) has published on its website the disciplinary epilogue to the recent fan rampage at the return leg of the third round of Conference League qualifying between
Maribor
and Fenerbahçe. As we know, the match was suspended for almost 30 minutes in the second half due to unpleasant scenes in the part of the stadium where the Turkish supporters were. There were unofficial rumours that the riots were caused by local supporters who stole one of the banners or flags from the guests. But judging by UEFA’s decision, the only one to blame for what happened is Fenerbahçe.
UEFA pardoned Maribor, so to speak, and only the giant from Istanbul was punished. Fenerbahçe will therefore be without its supporters for the next European tour and must pay a fine of €30,000 for lighting pyrotechnics, throwing objects, damaging property and fan disorder. But that’s not all. UEFA has also ordered Fenerbahçe to compensate Maribor for the damage caused to the stadium by the rampage of its fans! The Turks have 30 days to contact the Styrians, UEFA said.
It goes without saying that, especially in Turkey, there is no hiding their astonishment and indignation at the fact that only Fenerbahçe, where the Slovenian national team player Miha Zajc earns his living, has been punished…
