UEFA open disciplinary probe against Albania FA after Euro 2024 match

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Albanian football federation FSHF in connection with several incidents during the team's Euro 2024 match against Italy.

The ruling body said on Sunday the charges are "throwing of objects, lighting of fireworks, invasion of the field of play [and] transmitting a provocative message."

Albanian fans at Saturday's match in Dortmund, which Italy won 2-1, lit a smoke-bomb, one man ran onto the pitch with an Albania flag in the closing stages, and several forbidden Greater Albania flags were also seen.

UEFA said its control, ethics and disciplinary body would decide on the matter "in due course."
