Euroleague penalizes Red Star and Partizan following Belgrade derby

Euroleague has issued significant penalties to Serbian basketball clubs Red Star and Partizan following incidents during their Round 7 derby match in Belgrade.

Red Star has been fined 115,000 euros and issued a ban on organized away fan travel for five matches. These sanctions stem from incidents that endangered spectator safety, including offensive behavior, the use of lasers, throwing objects, and pitch invasions.

Partizan has been fined 49,000 euros for the use of pyrotechnics and lasers, offensive fan behavior, throwing objects, pitch invasions, and inadequate security measures. Reports indicate that tensions between fans and police also occurred prior to the start of the match.
