While the Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ) had been sentenced to three matches behind closed doors following the behavior of its supporters during the Euro matches organized in Budapest, the disciplinary chamber of UEFA finally lowered this punishment to two meetings, and this for "discriminatory behavior of its supporters."

As a reminder, this sanction fell because of the racist chants launched by supporters against players of the France team during the draw conceded in Hungary in the group stage of the European Championship (1-1). In addition to the fine of 100,000 euros confirmed by the European body, the MLSZ will have to display in its stands "a banner with the expression #EqualGame" during the next two matches of its team.
