FA fined by UEFA after England fans used laser and booed anthem vs Denmark

The Football Association has been fined €30,000 (£26,000) by UEFA for shining a laser pen and booing Denmark’s national anthem during Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi final.

Earlier this week, the English FA was charged by UEFA for three offences during the semi final at Wembley as fans booed the opposing national anthem, set off red flares inside the stadium, while one supporter shone a green laser pen in the eyes of Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel moments before Harry Kane’s penalty which led to England’s winning goal.

And now the FA have received their punishment for the disturbances during the match as a statement from UEFA read: ‘The CEDB has decided to fine the English Football Association €30,000 for the use of laser pointer, disturbances during the national anthems and setting of fireworks.’
