UEFA announced this Friday that, in accordance with article 31.4 of its Disciplinary Regulations, it has appointed an Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector to carry out an investigation into possible racist and/or discriminatory behavior by fans during the match between Croatia and Albania last Wednesday. Supporters of both nations chanted anti-Serbia and anti-Macedonia.
The highest European football body will also investigate the alleged inappropriate behavior of the Albanian player Mirlind Dakuwho after the match, which ended 2-2, used a megaphone and accompanied the fans’ chants against Macedonia.
