UEFA closed the case without punishing Croatia for the incidents with Armenia

UEFA’s investigation into the incidents between Armenia and Croatia, for the Euro 2024 qualifiers, in a game played two weeks ago in Yerevan, has been completed.

The European football federation decided not to punish its counterpart “Hrvatsa” for what happened in the said game, judging that the Croatians in the stands were not to blame.

“We are of course satisfied with the decision of the UEFA Disciplinary Committee, because we believe that through our detailed response, we have shown that the Croatian Football Association is not responsible for the disturbances at the Yerevan stadium and there is no evidence of Croatian fans being involved in these disturbances. . I would like to thank our legal team for preparing an excellent response and our security department for thoroughly preparing the match and providing critical information during this process.” claimed the president of the Croatian Federation, Marijan Kustic.

Let us remind you that during the match, there were fights in the stands, as several people came to hand. However, a little later the tension detonated after the intervention of the cooler ones, without affecting the progress of the game.

In fact, the Armenians raised a flag of his with a drone Artsakh, something unrelated to the episodes. Artsakh is a region known mainly by its former name of “Nagorno-Karabakh Republic” and is a unilaterally declared, unrecognized republic in the South Caucasus. The region is considered by the UN to be part of Azerbaijan, but is under the control of Armenian separatists.

UEFA has made the decision to close the disciplinary proceedings against the Croatian Football Federation for the behavior of fans during the European Qualifiers match between Armenia and Croatia.
