UEFA Orders Maccabi Tel Aviv to Suspend Ticket Sales After Pyrotechnics Incident
Maccabi Tel Aviv secured their place in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League after defeating Sheriff Tiraspol with an aggregate score of 7-0. However, the club has encountered a setback following the use of pyrotechnics by fans during the home leg against the Moldovan team. UEFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Maccabi Tel Aviv and instructed the club to suspend all ticket sales for their upcoming home match against CSKA Sofia until the investigation concludes.
The club announced the directive on July 31, 2026, stating they are fully cooperating with UEFA and will inform supporters once a decision regarding ticket sales is made. This suspension affects the sale of tickets for the next Europa League qualifying round match, potentially impacting fan attendance and club preparations.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's management emphasized their commitment to compliance with UEFA's regulations and expressed their intention to keep fans updated on any developments related to the disciplinary process.
