Paris: UEFA on Tuesday ordered the "suspended disqualification" of Russia from the European Championship declaring they will be ordered out if there is more crowd trouble in a stadium at the tournament.

Russia were also fined 150,000 euros ($170,000) over unrest in the stadium when Russia played England in Marseille on Saturday. Russia were found guilty by Europe's governing body of crowd disturbances, racist chanting and throwing fireworks.
