| Polish team fined 10,000 euros for 'Jihad' banner |
| 2011-11-19 |
| Legia Warsaw have been fined 10,000 euros by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) after fans displayed a banner saying 'Jihad Legia' during a soccer match at home to Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv on September 29. Poland has already been criticised by UEFA officials over hooliganism, which they say is destroying the image of the country that is due to co-host the 2012 European Championship with Ukraine. In May of this year hooligans fought with police, damaged the stadium and attacked press photographers after Legia beat Lech Poznan 5-4 on penalties to win the Polish Cup final in Bydgoszcz. |
