Maccabi Tel Aviv Suspends Ticket Sales for Europa League Match After Pyrotechnics Incident
Maccabi Tel Aviv has halted ticket sales for their upcoming Europa League third qualifying round match against CSKA Sofia, scheduled to take place in Batumi, Georgia next week. This decision follows the use of pyrotechnics by Maccabi fans during their recent home game against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday, which prompted UEFA to open a disciplinary investigation.
In an official statement, the club announced that UEFA instructed them to suspend all ticket sales until the disciplinary process is complete. Maccabi Tel Aviv emphasized their full cooperation with UEFA and promised to update fans once a decision regarding ticket sales is reached.
Maccabi Tel Aviv advanced to the third qualifying round after a dominant 6-0 aggregate victory over Sheriff Tiraspol, winning 5-0 in the first leg in Moldova and 1-0 in the return leg in Batumi. The club is now preparing for the next stage of the Europa League qualifiers under coach Kenny Miller.
