Tottenham Hotspur bans three fans for Nazi salutes in Germany during a Champions League match

Tottenham Hotspur banned three supporters on Monday for giving the Nazi salute during a 2025/26 UEFA Champions League match in Germany in January.

The club’s decision came after UEFA fined Tottenham 30,000 euros ($35,000) on charges of «racist and/or discriminatory behavior» over the gestures during a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last month.

“We can confirm that all three individuals who gave the Nazi salute to Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have been banned indefinitely,” Tottenham said.

“The disgusting behavior of a minority of so-called fans during the evening in no way reflects the values ​​of our club and its supporters,” it added.

Spurs were also fined 2,250 euros ($2,600) for fans throwing objects.

UEFA has postponed a one-match ban on the Europa League title holders selling tickets to fans for away matches in European competitions for a one-year trial period.

Tottenham will play Atletico Madrid in the eighth finals of the Champions League on March 10.
