Red Star Belgrade must play five matches behind closed doors after a fan suffered a gunshot wound during a cup match ten days ago, the Serbian Football Federation (FSS) said on Monday.

The FSS held the club, former European champions, responsible for “the presence of fireworks and firearms in the stadium” when it hosted the match against city rivals OFK Belgrade on April 14.

A 21-year-old Red Star supporter was seriously injured when he suffered gunshot wounds during the game.

Serbian authorities have vowed to crack down on violence at football grounds after the death in the capital of French fan Brice Taton, who had come to watch Toulouse play Partizan Belgrade in a Europa League match.

A total of 15 people are due to stand trial in connection with Taton’s death from Wednesday.
