UEFA PURNISH ROMANIA'S STEAUA BUCHAREST FOR RACISM

Romanian club, Steaua Bucharest have been told by Uefa to play their next two home European matches behind closed doors following the racist behaviour of their fans. 
National Arena
Steaua's fans unveiled a racist banner at their Europa League match against Dynamo Kiev in Bucharest in December. 
Uefa purnished the Romanian club for what was the third instance of racism from their supporters this season.
They were also fined €20,000 (£14,668) for two further offences: setting off fireworks and use of a laser pointer.
Steaua were knocked out of this season's Europa League at the group stage and the stadium ban will therefore come into effect next season.
The first racist incidents were at a Champions League qualifying round match against Stromsgodset of Norway.
They were then purnished for racism and other offenses in a Champions League playoff against Ludogorets Razgrad, and supporters were subsequently banned from attending their match against Aalborg on 18 September last year.
