Football: Slavia Prague faces stadium closure over crowd disturbances

The Czech Interior Ministry has launched formal proceedings against the club Slavia Prague over repeated disturbances by its fans. In the latest incident from last month, Slavia fans exploded fireworks and set the rival team’s banners and scarfs on fire, with the game being interrupted in the 75th minute. Slavia also faced disciplinary measures over their fans’ behaviour in several games earlier in the season. The club now faces the closure of their stadium for a period ranging from one match to one year.
