UEFA bans Hungarian fans from Georgia Nations League match

The UEFA Appeals Committee has banned Hungarian supporters from purchasing tickets for the upcoming Nations League match against Georgia in Tbilisi, scheduled for November 14. This decision follows five disciplinary infractions committed by Hungarian fans during a recent match against Ukraine in Slovakia.

The infractions included racist and discriminatory behavior, specifically involving chants targeting Roma, Romanians, and Slovaks. Additionally, fans were cited for throwing objects onto the pitch, damaging stadium property, unsportsmanlike conduct during national anthems, and the use of pyrotechnics.

As a result of these violations, the Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ) must pay a fine of 28 million forints. While UEFA also banned ticket sales for another away match, that specific penalty has been suspended for two years. The Hungarian national team currently sits in second place in their Nations League B division group.
