Austrian club Rapid Vienna have lost their appeal against the punishment imposed by UEFA following incidents at the Europa League play-off first leg against Greek opponents PAOK in Salonika last month.
The €75,000 fine handed down by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has been upheld by European football’s governing body and Rapid must play their next UEFA competition home game behind closed doors.
This sanction did not apply to the play-off second leg between Rapid and PAOK in Vienna on August 30 which Rapid won 3-0 to advance to the Europa League group stage 4-2 on aggregate.
Rapid are also disqualified from a UEFA competition for which they would normally qualify within the next five years, but this ban is suspended for a probationary period of three years.
