The Georgian Football Federation has been fined 40,000 euros for the brawl during the Nations League Match against Armenia on March 23.
The issue was discussed at a meeting of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee on April 9.
By UEFA’s decision, the Georgian Football Federation was fined 40,000 euros for fans storming the pitch, using laser lights and pyrotechnics, and blocking exits, and the Georgian national team will play one home match behind closed doors.
The aforementioned punishment applies to competitions that fall under UEFA’s disciplinary jurisdiction. Accordingly, the punishment does not apply to friendly matches or qualifying matches for the 2025 World Cup in the autumn.
UEFA’s decision also includes a two-year probationary period. If similar violations are repeated within two years, the Georgian national team will again play its next match behind closed doors.
The Nations League play-off match between Georgia and Armenia descended into chaos as fights broke out among fans following the game.
The host team, Georgia, celebrated a 6-1 victory before tensions escalated post-match. The Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi was overrun with hundreds of fans who stormed the pitch, bypassing security and leaping over barriers.
Police had to step in when objects started flying between the home and away supporters in the stands.
