NYON, Switzerland — Legia Warsaw's season-long issues with fan incidents at UEFA-organized games led to an order to play its next European home game in an empty stadium. The latest disciplinary case included a charge for a giant banner by fans with an expletive aimed at UEFA. Fans unveiled the banner along the length of Legia's stadium before a Europa Conference League game against Molde last month. The UEFA charge was a "provocative message of an offensive nature." Legia was fined $23,000. Disorder broke out at a previous Legia game at Aston Villa and AZ Alkmaar.
