Polish top-flight club Legia Warsaw were on Wednesday ordered by UEFA to shut a stand used by its die-hard fans after racist chanting by supporters at a Champions League match. 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 regularly have fallen foul of both Polish and European football authorities, as well the club itself. 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
