England have been ordered to play their next UEFA competition match behind closed doors following disorder surrounding the Euro 2020 final at Wembley in the summer.

The punishment is in response to chaotic and ugly scenes before, during and after the game, with some ticketless supporters forcing their way through security cordons and gaining entry to the stadium.

Tournament organisers UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against the Football Association on 3 August and issued sanctions on Monday.

In addition to the one-match ban on supporters, a further one-game ban is suspended for a period of two years, UEFA said.

The stadium closure will apply for a Nations League fixture in June, while a second empty-stadium game was deferred for a two-year probationary period.

The England soccer federation was also fined 100,000 euros (£84,560) for fan violence and other incidents in and around the stadium, including disturbances during the Italian national anthem before the final.

Before the Euro 2020 final against Italy in July, thousands of English fans tried to break through barriers to get into Wembley, which was at about two-thirds capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions.

England, in its first major tournament final for 55 years, ended up losing to Italy in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.
