Feyenoord have been charged with racist behaviour and throwing of objects by their fans after last week’s turbulent Europa League tie against Roma was interrupted, UEFA said yesterday.
The Dutch club will also face disciplinary proceedings over insufficient organisation, including blocked stairways, during the round of 32 second-leg tie which Roma won 2-1.
The referee took the players off the field early in the second half when fans hurled objects on to the pitch, delaying the match for around 10 minutes.
The game was also briefly halted in the first half as match officials removed a giant plastic banana which was thrown on to the pitch.
Roma will face a hearing on Thursday after they were charged with kicking off late and their forward Adem Ljajic with “provoking spectators,” UEFA said.
