UEFA starts disciplinary proceedings against Albania after the loss with Italy

UEFA has launched disciplinary proceedings against the Albanian Football Association (AFFA) over incidents including a pitch invasion and throwing of objects during Italy's 2-1 defeat in Dortmund at Euro 2024 on Saturday.

European football's governing body said in a statement on Sunday that it had also launched proceedings for the lighting of fireworks by Albanian fans during the Group B match, as well as for "broadcasting a provocative message inappropriate for a sporting event".

UEFA did not provide further details about the message that was allegedly broadcast.

The European football body said UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body will rule on the matter in due course.
