Ukraine has been ordered to play one game behind closed doors as part of a UEFA punishment for racist behavior at last month's European Championship qualifier against Spain.
UEFA says Ukraine was also fined £68,000 for the racist behavior and separate charges including offensive chanting and the use of a laser pointer.
On Wednesday, UEFA handed Ukrainian champion Dynamo Kiev a three-game stadium ban, with one game suspended, after racist attacks on black fans during a Champions League game against Chelsea.
Ukraine already have to play their first 2018 World Cup qualifier behind closed doors because of a FIFA racism sanction dating from 2013. The country was also given a partial stadium ban from UEFA last year.
