Romania will play their next Euro 2016 qualifier behind closed doors after Uefa fined them for racist behaviour by supporters earlier this month.

Uefa fined the Romanian Football Federation a total of 110,000 euros (£80,000) for crowd trouble in games against Hungary and Greece.

Fans in Budapest disrespected the Hungarian anthem,external-link let off flares and clashed with rival fans.

Group F

In the home game against Greece they were punished for racist behaviour.

Romania - who are a point behind Northern Ireland in second place in Group F - will now play Finland in an empty stadium on 8 October.

With the top two sides in each group progressing to next summer's finals in France, Romania are well placed to qualify for a first major tournament since Euro 2008.
