UEFA confirm 10 match ban and crowd ban for racist slurs

Mario Balotelli reacts to vile chants from a section of Roma fans.

The UEFA have confirmed that players who have been found guilty of racist slurs and other acts will serve a minimum 10 match ban.

In recent weeks, racism has stormed into a huge controversy across world football. Recently, Mario Balotelli was abused by a bunch of Roma fans during their match at the Italian capital. The striker refused to continue for a few minutes alerting the referees. Announcements were made but the chanting continued, nonetheless.

This is why UEFA have taken a step forward and have announced that if fans are found berating players, that particular section of the crowd will be banned by the club for a few matches.
