LONDON, Nov 16 — Uefa have banned West Ham United supporters from attending their Europa League clash away to Rapid Vienna following crowd trouble during their game against Genk earlier this month, European football’s governing body said in a statement on Monday.

West Ham’s travelling fans had been charged with "crowd disturbances” and "throwing of objects” after the 2-2 draw against the Belgian club on Nov. 4.

Uefa have fined West Ham €30,000 (RM141, 491) and a further penalty of €4,500 for the two offences.

West Ham and Rapid Vienna were each fined €60,000 by Uefa for similar disturbances after their fixture at the London Stadium in September. Following that incident, the Austrian side were also banned from having fans travel to their next away European fixture.

David Moyes’ side are top of Group H with 10 points from four games, four points ahead of Dinamo Zagreb. They visit Rapid Vienna on Nov. 25. — Reuters
