French club Nantes have been fined a combined 21,000 euros (18.264 pounds) after supporters set off flares during matches as part of a tribute to former striker Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash last month.
A single-engine plane carrying Sala from Nantes to his new team Cardiff City crashed on Jan. 21 in the English Channel before he made his debut for the Premier League side.
Wreckage was found on Feb. 3 following a privately-funded underwater search and Sala’s body was recovered three days later, while the plane’s pilot David Ibbotson is still missing.
