Roma's 1,500 away tickets for PSG sell out in three hours

UEFA's disciplinary committee has fined Roma 20,000 euros over incidents involving a section of the club's fans before and after the European match in Manchester. The sanction also includes a partial restriction on ticket sales for the away section at a future European away game. If the sanction is applied, the share of tickets allocated to Roma supporters would be cut from 5% to 2.5% of the host stadium's capacity. The restriction has been suspended for two years from the date of the decision, meaning it would only take effect if Roma fans commit further violations during that period. There are no such problems for Roma's trip to Paris on 25 November, when the club face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Roma supporters will have access to the full away allocation, with around 2,500 tickets available to back the team at the Parc des Princes.

UEFA has fined Roma 20,000 euros and handed the club a second sanction that could affect ticket allocations for its away trips in European competition. The sanction came just over a week after incidents involving some Roma fans in Manchester, in which a young fan was reportedly pinned down and nearly killed by English police, according to the account of a female supporter. The UEFA Disciplinary Committee ordered a partial restriction on ticket sales for the away sector of a future away match in a UEFA competition. The share of tickets reserved for travelling supporters would be halved, from 5% to 2.5% of the host stadium's capacity, a cut that would leave part of the Roma following without tickets. However, the restriction will not take effect for now. UEFA has suspended the second sanction for two years from the date of the decision. In practice, Roma can count on normal ticket availability for European away matches, unless new incidents occur during the suspension period. There is no consequence for the next match, against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. Ticket sales will continue as normal, and the UEFA sanction does not add to the restrictions already imposed by French authorities on public order grounds. The ticket quota for Paris remains as planned.

UEFA's Appeals Body has sanctioned Roma following the behaviour of a section of their supporters at Old Trafford on 3 November, when the Giallorossi lost 3-2 to Manchester United in the Champions League. The club was punished for two breaches of the disciplinary regulations: disorder in the stands and the use of pyrotechnic material. The heavier penalty relates to the clashes between fans, for which Roma must pay a fine of 20,000 euros. That sanction has been handed a conditional suspension for two years, meaning it will only take effect if similar breaches occur again within that two-year period. A further fine of 3,750 euros was imposed for lighting flares and pyrotechnics during the match. The total bill for the club rises to 23,750 euros. The suspended sanction serves above all as a warning ahead of Roma's upcoming international commitments.
