(http://www.uefa.com/news/newsId=471554,printer.htmx)UEFA has opened a disciplinary case against the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) and English Football Association (FA) following the UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier in Zagreb on 11 October.
Missiles thrown
The European governing body said the HNS would face charges relating to the conduct of Croatia fans, after missiles were thrown and Bengal lights were set off, as well as organisational shortcomings at the stadium. These include the opening of an insufficient number of turnstiles, blocked stairways and the sale of tickets on the day of the match without the approval of the police or FA.
Hearing date
The FA faces charges for the improper conduct of England fans prior to the match around the entrance and in front of entry turnstiles. UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the cases on 9 November. Croatia won the game 2-0.
