Germany game in Belgrade to admit 5,000 children

Serbia's Nations League meeting with Germany will not be played in a completely empty stadium, with around 5,000 children and teenagers set to attend in Belgrade.

Why children can attend

The Serbian Football Association said UEFA rules allow children under 15 to enter in organised groups, accompanied by teachers, coaches or club officials. That means the Rajko Mitić Stadium will have a small crowd despite Serbia's punishment.

Why Serbia were punished

UEFA fined Serbia after racist and discriminatory behaviour by supporters in matches against Greece and the Netherlands, with abusive chants and other conduct reported during those games. Its disciplinary committee then ordered one home match behind closed doors and a €50,000 fine.
