UEFA Fines Red Star €95,500 Over Jesus Christ Tifo and Fan Incidents
•UEFA has imposed a €95,500 penalty on Red Star Belgrade for fan incidents during a Europa League match against LOSC Lille.
•A significant portion of the fine, €40,000, was for a large tifo featuring an Orthodox icon and a religious message, deemed "not fit for a sports event."
•The tifo, displayed by the Delije Sever ultra group, read: "May our faith lead you to victory."
•Additional fines included €17,000 for fireworks, €10,500 for object-throwing, and €28,000 for blocked passageways.
•The incident has reignited debate about UEFA's enforcement of rules against political or religious messaging in stadiums.
