Fans who threw debris on to the pitch during Orlando City’s 2-1 loss to rival Atlanta United Sunday face a one-year minimum suspension, according to club officials.
After a no-call in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, fans around the stadium — not just from the supporters’ section — began littering the pitch with cups and other trash.
Fans also threw debris at Atlanta United players after the Five Stripes scored.
The club is working to identify the individuals who threw things, though a spokeswoman said it’s a “lengthy process.”
Club officials confirmed more than a dozen fans were trespassed from the stadium by the Orlando Police Department.
