UEFA has fined Jagiellonia €20,000 and reactivated a previously suspended disciplinary sanction, which means their supporters will not be allowed to travel for the away game at Sunderland on 26 November. The punishment is for the next one away match in UEFA competitions, not a home fixture.
UEFA's sanction on Jagiellonia
Transfery.info reported that UEFA ordered the implementation of the suspended sanction after crowd disturbances caused by fans, throwing of objects and material damage. The wording matters here. UEFA's action is not a general home ban, but a ticket-selling ban for Jagiellonia supporters for one away game in Europe.
The club's European position makes the timing awkward. Jagiellonia are 29th in the Europa League table with 3 points from 4 matches, so every remaining game carries weight. They have also won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches, which does little to soften the blow of losing travelling support for a trip to England.
What UEFA said after the Levski Sofia tie
WP SportoweFakty also reported that UEFA linked the punishment to disorder in the stands and objects being thrown during the match against Levski Sofia. It said Levski Sofia were fined €44,000 and had two sectors closed, with that part of the punishment suspended for two years.
The same report also put Levski Sofia 10th in the Europa League table with 7 points from 4 matches. So both clubs are dealing with disciplinary fallout from the same tie, but Jagiellonia's immediate issue is simpler, and more damaging for their travelling support. The Stadium of Light visit is now a European away night without their fans in the ground.
