UEFA fine Roma 23,750 euros after Manchester United incidents

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.

Roma have been fined 20,000 euros by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee over disorder involving Giallorossi fans before and after the Champions League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The committee also imposed a restriction on ticket sales for the away sector in European away trips. If applied, the measure would cut by 50% the share normally reserved for away supporters, from 5% to 2.5% of the host stadium's capacity. The ticket sanction has been suspended for two years. Should similar violations occur during that period, UEFA could make it effective. The disciplinary decision will not have immediate consequences for the trip to Paris on 25 November. However, Roma fans will still face reduced ticket availability. As Roma officially communicated, the French Police Prefecture has imposed a reduction of the away sector at the Parc des Princes for public order reasons, from the 2,376 seats initially planned to 1,500 tickets available. Ticket sales open today, 12 November, at 13:00, initially for Plus season ticket holders, with tickets costing 50 euros. Any general sale will begin on Monday 16 November at 12:00. The UEFA sanction remains suspended, but any new incidents could bring further restrictions for Giallorossi supporters.

UEFA's verdict on Roma's compliance with the settlement agreement linked to Financial Fair Play will not arrive until May 2027, according to Corriere della Sera. November will therefore not be the decisive month for assessing the club's financial position. The settlement agreement has certainly shaped Roma's room for manoeuvre in the transfer market over the last four years. On 15 October, the clubs submitted their accounts closed at 30 June 2026 to UEFA. The examination of the documents will begin in the final part of November, and any proceedings against Roma could not be opened before December or January. The final assessment will take three key elements into account: the balance sheet at 30 June 2026, the transactions carried out during the following summer transfer window, and the club's overall squad cost. The postponement of the verdict does not, however, mean complete freedom in the January transfer market. Roma remain subject to the constraints of the settlement agreement and must continue to respect the economic balance UEFA requires. There are therefore no direct and immediate consequences for winter operations, but possible indirect effects on the club's strategies could follow.
