Due to the suspension of the match between Romania and Kosovo after the placement of a banner saying "Kosovo is Serbia" by Romanian fans in Bucharest, the Romanian Football Federation is exposed to harsh sanctions such as partial or total closure of the stadium for fans , loss of the match, as well as a large financial penalty.
It will be the following days when UEFA will open a file after the incidents that happened last night in the duel between Romania and Kosovo in Bucharest. The match was interrupted for about an hour, after the Kosovar players left the field in the 19th minute of the match, when the Romanian fans started chanting 'Serbia, Serbia!' and a 'Kosovo is Serbia' banner was displayed.
Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo cites Article 11 of UEFA's Disciplinary Code, which states that national associations are responsible for "interruption of the match and players leaving the pitch".
Furthermore, Article 14 regarding racist acts clearly states that "if one or more members of a Federation insult or attack because of their racial, religious origin, etc.," they are exposed to the partial closure of the stadium theirs in addition to the fine. But the writing itself leaves open the possibility of a total shutdown for one or more games. Even losing the match.
Furthermore, UEFA's Article 16 on order and security holds the local association responsible for the conduct of its fans. Among other things, for the use of "gestures, words or any other method to transmit a provocative message" and especially one that has a political, ideological or religious color.
Thus, Romania is exposed to a severe sanction by UEFA and we will see what position the Disciplinary Commission will take on the decision of the Kosovar players to leave the playing field.
