UEFA have slapped the FA with a huge fine for England fans’ behaviour in four of the Three Lions games at Euro 2024.
England were fined a total of £45,015 (€53,375) for the disruptive incidents during the European Championships in Germany earlier this month.
Gareth Southgate’s England campaign at the Euros was frustrating for fans to watch at times.
From the Round of 16, the Three Lions managed to scrape a win in each game to eventually secure their spot in the final in Berlin.
But fell short of securing the trophy again after La Roja beat England 2-1.
And it has now been calculated the fans have cost the FA over £45,000 for the disturbances they caused during England’s clashes against Slovakia, Switzerland, Denmark and Spain.

Football reporter Henry Winter tweeted: “Another fine message. Uefa fines FA €10,000 for ‘crowd disturbances’ & €1,000 for ‘lighting of fireworks’ in #EURO2024 game v Slovakia.
“€40,875 for ‘throwing of objects’ in game v Switzerland; €3,000 for ‘lighting of fireworks’ in semi v Dutch and €1,500 in final v Spain.”
The incident of the €10,000 (£8400) fine was after fans booed the playing of the Slovenia national anthem.
Supporters were heard loudly jeering ahead of the two nations’ final Euro 2024 group game in Cologne on June 25.

In the quarter-final clash against Switzerland England narrowly secured a victory on the penalty shootout (5-3).
And then in the semi-final, it was Ollie Watkins’s last-minute strike that saw the Three Lions head into their second consecutive Euro final.
But with fans expecting ex-boss Southgate’s side to breeze through the tournament as they headed in as one of the Euro 2024 favourites it became clear the supporters grew frustrated with the squad’s performance.
The FA’s penalty contributes to a total of 1,270,000 euros worth of fines Uefa have dished out for offences committed by either the host nation or supporters during the tournament.
