UEFA fine Levski Sofia for fans behaviour


Levski Sofia have been fined 30,000 euros by UEFA for racist behaviour by fans during a Europa League second qualifying round game against Sarajevo, the Bulgarian club confirmed on Friday.
 
Levski Sofia fans brandished a racist banner and insulted the visiting team's players during the July 19 game which Levski won 1-0, before losing the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
 
The banner also hailed Ratko Mladic, ex-commander of the Bosnian Serb army, and Zeljko Raznatovic, the commander of Serb paramilitary unit 'The Tigers', who participated in wars in Bosnia and Croatia in the 1990s.
 
Levski Sofia who will mark their 100th anniversary next year have advised their fans to behave to avoid further sanctions in future.
 
'Fans should realise that the club is responsible for all of their extreme or irrational actions.'
