UEFA to investigate under-21 trouble

BERNE, June 18 (Reuters) European soccer's governing body UEFA will investigate reports of racist chanting and a fight in the players tunnel after England's 2-0 win over Serbia in a European Under-21 championships match.

UEFA spokesman Rob Faulkner told Reuters that the incidents during and after the match in Nijmegen, Netherlands would be considered by UEFA's disciplinary committee at its next regular meeting on July 12.

Neither team faces sanctions during the tournament as it winds up on Saturday. Both England and Serbia qualified for the semi-finals of the tournament.

England's FA will face questions over the incident involving their players after the match yesterday, while Serbia face charges over the behaviour of their players as well as the conduct of their supporters.
