UEFA announce stiffer sanctions on racist

UEFA has announced that players and officials will face a 10-match ban if found guilty of racist abuse.

CNN reports that UEFA's executive committee met in London on Thursday where it was confirmed the bans would apply to its own competitions, while other national associations remain free to decide on their own punishments.

The new tougher sanction comes just over a week after the English Football Association drew criticism for its plans to introduce a minimum five-match suspension for racism.

According to details released by UEFA, clubs and national side's whose fans are found guilty of racist abuse will be punished with a partial stadium closure as a first offense, while a second offense will lead to a complete closure.
