UEFA charged German football association
UEFA charged the German football association on Tuesday after anti-discrimination monitors reported seeing a neo-Nazi banner at a European Championship match against Denmark.
UEFA said the charge of "improper conduct" of its fans related to the display of "inappropriate banners and symbols."
The case was opened based on reports by monitors from the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) fans' network, which UEFA appointed to help combat racism and offensive flags, chants and behavior in Euro 2012 stadiums.
"FARE can confirm that one of our observers reported a neo-Nazi banner in the German section at the match vs. Denmark in Lviv on Sunday," the group said in a statement.
