UEFA also said it was conducting a separate investigation into the “events involving supporters which occurred inside and around the stadium.” The final, which Italy won in a penalty shootout, was marred by clashes between fans and officials in and around the stadium.

The charges against the FA include: invasion of the field of play by its supporters, throwing of objects by its supporters, disturbance caused by its supporters during the national anthem and lighting of a firework. “The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) in due course,” UEFA said. Last week the FA were fined 30,000 euros ($35,460) after a laser pointer was shone at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during what proved to be the deciding moment of their Euro 2020 semi-final.
