European football's governing body has ordered Hungary to play its next two UEFA matches without spectators for 'the discriminatory behavior of its supporters' at the European Championships.
UEFA's ruling on July 9 follows an investigation into alleged homophobic banners and monkey noises during Hungary's Euro 2020 group-stage matches last month in Budapest and Munich.
Hungary played its first two games of the tournament against Portugal and France at Budapest's Puskas Arena. UEFA on June 20 appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector to conduct a probe into 'potential discriminatory incidents' during those two matches.
