Wales' game against Slovakia is scheduled to take place at the City Arena in Trnava

Uefa has ordered Wales' Euro 2020 qualification game in Slovakia to be played behind closed doors after penalising the Slovak Football Association for racist chants by fans.

Slovakia were sanctioned under Uefa's disciplinary process for the behaviour of their away fans in a qualifier against Hungary on 9 September.

Slovakia can appeal the Uefa verdict.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) said it was "incredibly disappointed at the impact of the decision".

The qualifier is scheduled for 10 October. In addition to the order to play the match behind closed doors, Slovakia have also been fined €20,000 (£17,700).

Uefa has confirmed the charge against the Slovakian FA is under article 14, pertaining to racist behaviour (chants).

"The Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has decided to order the Slovak Football Association to play its next Uefa competition match as host association behind closed doors, for the racist behaviour of its supporters and to fine the Slovak Football Association with €20,000," it wrote in a statement.

FAW 'disappointed' by decision

The FAW expressed its disappointment at the decision in their own statement and say they have no right of appeal.

"Uefa has confirmed the sanction to the FAW this morning (23 September) that Slovakia are to play one match behind closed doors, therefore, the European Qualifying match at the Stadion Antona Malatinskeho on 10 October," Welsh football's governing body said.

"The FAW is incredibly disappointed as the impact of this decision will harshly affect our supporters who have already incurred the costs of travel and accommodation to attend this match to support the Wales national team.

"The FAW is currently making strong representations to Uefa about this unfair impact on the 2,137 fans who have purchased tickets for this match.

"Our supporters have an excellent reputation and do not deserve to be punished in the same way as the small section of the fans whose conduct has been reprimanded by the imposed Uefa sanction.

"The FAW is also deeply frustrated in the communication of this decision to the Association, which has generated a lot of unfair frustration and uncertainty for the association and the supporters.

"Uefa has advised that the FAW is unable to appeal against the decision not to allow Wales fans into the stadium."

It is understood the Slovakian FA will appeal the decision.

Slovakia are currently second in Group E of the Euro 2020 qualifying group, three points above Ryan Giggs' team, though Wales do have a game in hand.

Wales won the reverse fixture at the Cardiff City Stadium thanks to Dan James' early goal.
