UEFA hits Russia with a potential six-point deduction
11:05 • 14.06.12
UEFA has hit Russia with a potential six-point deduction during qualification for the next European Championship in France in 2016.
The suspended sanction for the violence inside Wroclaw’s stadium during and after last Friday’s game against the Czech Republic will alarm the Russian FA, as Russia are hosting the World Cup finals in 2018. They have also been fined £96,000.
It does not relate to the violence between Russian and Polish fans in Warsaw on Tuesday, but last night UEFA said they would investigate that trouble. If found guilty over the fan violence that led to 15 injuries and more than 180 arrests, Russia could find the suspended six-point deduction imposed immediately.
