UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin on Tuesday warned Croatia it risked drastic sanctions for hooliganism which he labelled a key problem. "Unfortunately, Croatian football is not known only by excellent players but also by certain problems that need to be solved," Ceferin told reporters in Zagreb. "One is the problem with fans, incidents, which might result in drastic sanctions," he said.
Ceferin, who took over the UEFA helm in September, was speaking after meeting head of the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) Davor Suker and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic. "I warned both prime minister and Davor that there is a serious possibility for the toughest sanctions," he said without elaborating. Suker expressed hope that the state institutions, notably the judiciary and the interior ministry, would help the federation in the fight against fans' violence.
