HAMBURG, July 5 — Europe’s football governing body Uefa handed a two-match ban to Turkish football player Merih Demiral for a politically-charged "wolf” celebration and fined England’s Jude Bellingham €30,000 (RM152,890) for a crotch-grabbing gesture at Euro 2024.

Bellingham was also given a one-match suspension in principle, but Uefa said that would not be immediately enforced and would be subject to a one-year probationary period. — Reuters
