Finnish FA fined 30 000E by UEFA on Nations League game against Belarus

Wait 5 sec.

Article in Finnish, key facts: Finnish FA first did not want to play against Belarus, first planned to play on a neutral pitch. The decision was made to play in Helsinki, but make the match a support game for Ukraine. UEFA has fined Finnish FA 30 000. 10 000 for "inappropriate behaviour", likely booing and whistling during the Belarus national anthem. 20 000 for "inappropriate messaging", likely the fan end tifo which depicts the Belarus dictator Lukashenka as a roach being attacked by an owl, the Finnish national team symbol. The text behind reads "Your day shall come", a quote from Finlandia, an epic nationalistic song by the national composer Sibelius. TL;DR: Fuck UEFA. Also fuck Russia and Belarus.   submitted by   /u/SpaceEngineering [link]   [comments]
