The Disciplinary Board of UEFA has punished the Serbian Football Federation (FSS) with two matches without supporters - the second of which is conditional - for failures in the organization of the EURO 2020 qualifier against Portugal.

For this reason, Serbia's Eagles ("Orlovi," the national squad's nickname) will play their matches against Luxembourg and Ukraine in front of an empty stadium.

However, the stands will not be entirely empty, as the youngest fans will be allowed in - just like inthe  matches where Partizan FC has been penalized.

In the EURO 2020 qualifiers, Serbia will play against Luxembourg at home November 14, and three days later against Ukraine, also at home.
