European football governing body, UEFA, has ordered Bayern
Munich to close part of their stadium for their Champions League match
at home to Manchester United next month.
According
to UEFA disciplinary committee decision, the Champions League defending
champions will have to shut "Sector 124" of the Allianz Arena for the
quarterfinal second leg match holding on April 9.
However, a
statement released by UEFA on Monday did not give indication of which
part of the stadium that section is located in or how many seats will be
affected.
Uefa said fans showed "an illicit banner" during the round of 16 tie at home to Arsenal earlier this month.
It
declined to give more details about the cause of the ban, although
media photographs showed a group of fans with a homophobic banner aimed
at Arsenal.
Apart from the stadium ban, the German club were also fined 10 000 euros ($13 800).
