England are expected to be ordered to play at least one home game behind closed doors when UEFA’s disciplinary body meets on Monday to look into crowd trouble inside and outside Wembley Stadium at this summer’s Euro 2020 final.
There were serious disturbances when England played Italy on Sunday, July 11 as ticketless fans fought with stewards and police officers and forced their way into the stadium.
UEFA’s disciplinary investigators have been looking at the behaviour of England fans amid what appeared to be an ineffective security operation around Wembley for England’s in a major final since 1966.
  As well as the disciplinary investigation into events involving supporters inside and around the stadium, the FA is facing another four charges relating to the behaviour of fans. The charges are disturbances during the national anthems, invasion of the pitch, throwing of objects and the lighting of a firework.
; The FA has requested a personal hearing on Monday but the governing body’s representatives will not have to travel to UEFA’s headquarters in Switzerland because the proceedings are being held remotely by video conference.
UEFA has been investigating the behaviour of fans inside and outside Wembley and not the FA’s staging of the showpiece final. Under UEFA’s rules, the FA is ultimately responsible for the behaviour of England supporters.
A decision is expected in the case on Monday evening or by Tuesday.
