London, November 145 (BNA): West Ham were prevented from selling tickets for their next away game in the UEFA competition due to fans’ problems during the Europa League trip to Genk.
The Premier League club was also fined a total of 34,500 euros ($39,000) after a 2-2 draw in Belgium on November 4, the Associated Press reported.
According to a statement issued by UEFA, a ban on tickets and a fine of 30,000 euros was imposed due to “fan disturbances”.
