• Football associations hit with £40,335 total fine
• Russian FA spared suspended six-point penalty
Uefa has fined the Russian and Spanish football associations a total of €50,000 (£40,335) for the racist abuse of their fans during Euro 2012.
Uefa says its disciplinary panel found both countries guilty of "improper conduct of its fans [racist behaviour, racist chanting]". Russia was fined €30,000 (£24,203) and Spain must pay €20,000 (16,137).
Russian fans made monkey noises at the Czech Republic full-back Theodor Gebre Selassie while Spain fans targeted abuse at the Italy forward Mario Balotelli.
The Russian sanction does not activate Uefa's threat of a six-point penalty in Euro 2016 qualifying after some fans attacked stadium stewards in Wroclaw following their 4-1 victory over Czech Republic on 8 June. Read More
