Two Russian fans were each slapped with a two-year ban from watching football in Poland for ignoring requests by security personnel at their side's Euro 2012 opener with the Czech Republic, police said today.
"The ban was imposed Sunday by a court in (the western city of) Wroclaw against a 27-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman," police spokesman Kamil Rynkiewicz said, adding that the pair must also pay a 2,000-zloty (460-euro, $575) fine.
Four other Russia fans were held in police custody in Wroclaw Sunday on suspicion of having taken part in restaurant brawl on the night of the Group A match on Friday, which Russia won 4-1.
Meanwhile in Poznan, western Poland, where Ireland take on Croatia Sunday, police said they had detained 14 fans, including 10 Poles, four Irishmen and one Croat after an overnight smash-up in the city's historic central square.
Police were still trying Sunday to identify and detain Russia supporters who beat up four Polish volunteer ground stewards at the ground.
European football's governing body UEFA on Saturday said it was taking disciplinary action against Russia for the behaviour of its fans, who also set fire to and threw fireworks and displayed potentially inflammatory "Russian Empire" flags.
They were also looking at claims that Russian fans racially abused Czech player Theo Gebre Selassie, who is black.
The head of the Russian football federation, Sergey Fursenko, has said they would do all they could to prevent a repeat of the violence and urged fans not to "dishonour" their country.
