Dynamo Kiev have been ordered to close part of their stadium for next month's Europa League quarter-final after racist behaviour by fans towards Everton players.
The Ukrainian side has also been fined 15,000 euros ($16,223) by UEFA for the setting off of fireworks and for insufficient organization.
The racist behavior took place during the 5-2 second-leg win over Everton on March 19.
UEFA has ordered partial closure of the NSK Olimpiyskiy stadium for the first leg of the quarter-final against Fiorentina, to be played in Kiev on April 16.
