UEFA has imposed a €20,000 fine on Associazione Sportiva Roma and added a further disciplinary measure linked to fan disorder during their away match at Manchester United on 3 November. UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body also ordered a partial restriction on Roma’s away ticket allocation for one of their upcoming European fixtures.
That restriction is suspended for two years, meaning it will only take effect if further incidents occur during the probationary period. In practical terms, Roma’s allocation for the affected match could be cut if UEFA’s probation conditions are breached again.
Suspended restriction, conditional activation
UEFA’s sanction relates to disturbances involving Roma supporters and police following the match in Manchester. The additional away-ticket measure is designed to deter repeat problems, with UEFA holding the club to account for crowd conduct in away sections.
Roma’s position is further complicated by the nature of their next European away challenge. Their trip to Paris Saint-Germain on 25 November is already being treated as a potential security concern in France, with authorities preparing for the possibility of tighter controls on travelling fans.
PSG fixture already classed high-risk
Local risk assessments around PSG-Roma have been the subject of discussion in France and Italy, with reports pointing to a wider matchday ultras context in Paris. The same reporting also highlights previous incidents on Roma’s recent travels, including arrests following an away Europa League trip to Nice.
While those details are not part of UEFA’s headline disciplinary statement, they help explain why stadium and policing plans are being discussed in advance. UEFA’s suspended punishment means Roma can still avoid a further cut to their allocation if there are no further breaches in the meantime—but the club will be aware that the window to prove compliance is narrow.
For fans, the immediate takeaway is that Roma’s away supporters could face reduced access should UEFA’s probationary conditions be triggered by any new disorder. Until any stadium-level decisions are confirmed by organisers and security authorities, the exact scale of the away section at Parc des Princes remains subject to change.
