UEFA have ordered seven national soccer federations to pay fines totalling $A380,000 for racist and discriminatory abuse by fans at European Championship games.
UEFA did not specify details of the incidents which mostly involved fans from teams in the Balkans at the month-long, 24-nation tournament played in Germany.
Croatia must pay the biggest fine of $A82,000 for incidents at each of their three games.
Fans of Croatia and Albania teamed up to chant anti-Serbia slogans during a group-stage game played in Hamburg. UEFA said then they would investigate the incident, and the Serbia federation threatened to quit the tournament if UEFA failed to act.
The Albania soccer body were fined a combined $A50,000 on Wednesday for racist conduct at two games, against Croatia and Spain.
The Albanian and Croatian federations were fined during the tournament for fans lighting fireworks and throwing objects at the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Albania player Mirlind Daku also was banned for two games after leading fans in nationalist chants including against Serbia.
Romania, Serbia and Slovenia also were charged with incidents at three different games. Romania were fined $A66,000 and the other two must pay $A50,000.
Hungary were fined $A50,000 for racist fan conduct at two games and Austria were charged over one game and fined $A33,000.
UEFA imposed further sanctions on Croatia, Romania and Serbia of a ban on selling tickets to fans for one game away from home. Those should be served at Nations League games in September.
