UEFA’s Appeals Body ordered Maccabi Tel Aviv to play its next home match in European competition behind closed doors and fined the club €40,000. The sanction followed the lighting of pyrotechnics during Maccabi’s 1–0 Europa League qualifying victory over Sheriff Tiraspol on July 30. UEFA identified the matter as a violation of Article 16(2)(c) of its Disciplinary Regulations, which covers the lighting of fireworks or other objects. The decision was published on August 3 and applies to the next UEFA club competition match in which Maccabi acts as host.
