UEFA said that Legia would have to bar fans from the north stand of the Stadion Wojska Polskiego during their Champions League play-off on August 27, when they face Romania's Steaua Bucharest. In addition, UEFA slapped a fine of 30,000 euros on the club.

The racist incidents in question occurred during Legia's Champions League second qualifying round victory over Welsh club The New Saints on July 23. Source: AFP
