Uefa Partially Closes Stadium Over Fan Racism

Uefa has ordered a partial closure of CSKA Moscow's stadium after their fans racially abused Manchester City player Yaya Toure.

The governing body of European football's announcement comes a week after supporters appeared to aim monkey noises at Toure during the two teams' Champions League game at the Arena Khimki.

The sanction will apply to CSKA's next home match in the competition, against Bayern Munich on November 27.

Toure spoke out immediately after the game and later suggested black players should boycott the 2018 World Cup in Russia over racism. CSKA had vehemently denied the claims

Uefa has faced heavy criticism over the perceived lenience of previous sanctions it has issued for racist abuse in football.

The organisation revealed its decision its control and disciplinary body hearing in Switzerland, for which City submitted evidence.

Uefa issued a statement, saying: "The fight against racism is a high priority for Uefa.

WThe European governing body has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism and discrimination on the pitch and in the stands.

"All forms of racist behaviour are considered serious offences against the disciplinary regulations and are punished with the most severe sanctions.

"Following the entry into force of the new disciplinary regulations on 1 June, the fight against racist conduct has been stepped up a level - resulting in more severe sanctions to deter any such behaviour."

Under the regulations, a second offence of racial abuse concerning spectators could result in a full stadium closure.
