Croatia fined €100,000 & threatened with ticket-selling restrictions

Crowd trouble marred the country's draw with the Czech Republic in Saint-Etienne on Friday and the governing body have now hit the country with a significant punishment

Croatia have been fined €100,000 and told they will be banned from selling tickets to fans identified as hooligans if there is any further trouble during Euro 2016.

The country's match against Czech Republic in Saint-Etienne on Friday – which finished in a 2-2 draw – was marred by trouble involving a section of their support.

Croatian players had to call for calm when a volley of flares rained down on the pitch and halted play in the second half as part of a co-ordinated protest against the Croatian Football Federation (HNS).
