FA charged over Croatia incidents

The Croatian Federation also faces the same charge after police used batons on travelling fans in Zagreb, where England lost 2-0 on 11 October.

Uefa's control and disciplinary committee will deal with the matter at a meeting on 9 November.

The FA are expected to vigorously contest the charge.

If found guilty, it could be face anything from a fine to being forced to play matches behind closed doors.

The FA expressed their unhappiness at the treatment of England fans by Croatian police and how the entry of fans with official tickets into the Maksimir Stadium was managed.

Prior to the game, England fans without tickets were able to break through a security cordon, sparking concern among security guards.

The closure of turnstiles for two five-minute periods then caused panic.

Supporters with tickets squeezed towards the gates and police reacted by brandishing batons.

Reports said some England fans suffered head injuries.

The FA was disappointed by the security cordon which allowed fans without tickets to get to the turnstiles, neutralising their efforts to police supporters who follow the team.

They made their concerns known to a Uefa delegate before and after the match, but Uefa are pressing ahead with the charge against both associations.

A Uefa spokesman said: "The charge is improper behaviour. The next meeting of the control and disciplinary body is on 9 November."
