UEFA handed Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev a three-game stadium ban on Wednesday, with one game suspended, after racist attacks on coloured fans during a UEFA Champions League game against Chelsea.
Ukraine will already have to play their first 2018 World Cup qualifier behind closed doors because of a FIFA racism sanction dating from 2013.
