UEFA has imposed a fine on Tottenham Hotspur and placed a suspended ban on their traveling supporters after acknowledging that certain fans made “Nazi salutes.”
As part of the penalties, Tottenham is required to pay €30,000 (£26,200/$35,100) to UEFA.
Additionally, the club has been prohibited from selling away match tickets for one UEFA competition game, although this ban is suspended for a period of one year.
In addition to the aforementioned fine, Spurs will pay €2,250 (£1,960/$2,630) for incidents involving fans throwing objects.
In reaction to the sanctions, Tottenham confirmed the identification of supporters who performed “Nazi salutes” towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans during their Champions League match last month.

“The club has fully collaborated with UEFA’s investigation, as well as with German police that night, and subsequently with the Metropolitan Police,” Tottenham stated.
“We can confirm that all three individuals identified for making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been sanctioned with indefinite bans under the Club’s Sanctions and Banning Policy.
“The club is firmly against all forms of discrimination and has thus taken the strongest action possible. The despicable actions of a minority of self-styled fans do not represent the values of our club and its supporters.”
