The Irish Football Association (IFA) has issued substantial fines to five Irish League clubs: Cliftonville, Linfield, Bangor, Ards, and Dungannon Swifts. These penalties stem from incidents of fan misconduct, notably sectarian chanting, during various matches.
The misconduct occurred during both Irish Cup Semi-Finals and the Linfield versus Glentoran Premiership game played on April 5th.
The IFA's actions demonstrate a strong stance against poor spectator behavior. The financial penalties aim to deter future incidents and uphold standards within the league.
