UEFA have charged England’s Football Association following the chaotic scenes at Wembley in Sunday’s Euro 2020 final.
England supporters without tickets charged the barriers outside Wembley ahead of the game and found their way inside the stadium, while a fan also invaded the pitch during the second half.
The FA have also been charged for supporters throwing objects inside the stadium and for disturbance after fans booed during the Italian national anthem.
UEFA have also appointed an investigator to look into the events which saw hundreds of ticketless fans break through the security cordon and into the stadium.
A statement from the European governing body read: “Separately, and in accordance with Article 31(4) DR, a UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation into events involving supporters which occurred inside and around the stadium.”
