Jude Bellingham has been fined £25,000 and handed a one-match suspension, suspended for one year by UEFA for ‘violating the basic rules of decent conduct’.

Bellingham scored a brilliant overhead kick in the 94th minute to equalise for the Three Lions in their last-16 match against Slovakia. Gareth Southgate’s side would go on to win the game in extra time to set up a quarter-final clash against Switzerland.




But as he celebrated, the midfielder appeared to cup his privates in the direction of the Slovakia bench. The Real Madrid star later claimed it was a joke aimed towards his close friends.

But UEFA quickly announced they had opened an investigation into the 21-year-old, writing to him and the FA for an explanation of his actions. The governing body has now announced that investigation has concluded and Bellingham has been punished.

UEFA said in a statement: “The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) has taken the following decisions: UEFA EURO round of 16 match between England and Slovakia played on 3 July 2024 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

“Charges against English Football Association: Crowd disturbances, Art. 16(2)(h) DR; Lighting of fireworks, Art. 16(2)(c) DR.


“Charges against English Football Association player Jude Bellingham : Violating the basic rules of decent conduct, Art. 11(2)(b) DR.

“The CEDB has decided to fine the English Football Association €10,000 for crowd disturbances and €1,000 for lighting of fireworks.
