The sanctions stem from Feyenoord's Champions League match against Turkish club Besiktas on July 30. According to the Associated Press, video posted online shows Feyenoord supporters chanting a religious insult at Besiktas during the game, which the visiting team won 2-1.

Last week, UEFA announced similar punishments against three other teams. The organization also announced Wednesday it's opening an investigation into an alleged racist comment made by Carlo Tavecchio, the new head of Italy's football federation.

Feyenoord opened Dutch league play earlier this month. It next plays Sunday against Utrecht.
