UEFA opens disciplinary proceedings against England over Euro 2020 final disturbances

The nation faces punishment for the lack of order and discipline of its supporters, charges related to the chaotic scenes at Wembley

UEFA has confirmed that it will pursue disciplinary action against the English Football Association (FA) due to the incidents that marred the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.

The clash in July, won by Italy against the hosts on penalties following a 1-1 draw at extra time, was overshadowed by violent disturbances in and outside the stadium as well as at several gathering points for supporters across central London.

And following an investigation, the European governing body plans to sanction the FA for its fans' behaviour.
