UEFA To Investigate Bellingham’s Gesture To Slovakia by Ashleyokeneye(op): 2:34pm On Jul 03, 2024
UEFA are investigating England midfielder Jude Bellingham for a gesture he made after scoring against Slovakia in Euro 2024. The investigation focuses on whether his conduct breached UEFA's standards of behavior. Bellingham's gesture, captured on TV, has sparked controversy, though it's unclear if he will face disciplinary action. Jude Bellingham scored a spectacular overhead kick in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time to send the game into extra time, where Harry Kane headed home the winner. European football’s governing body states Bellingham may have broken the rules regarding “the basic rules of decent conduct."

Bellingham took to social media earlier on Monday to explain the gesture. He wrote on X: “An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played.” The UEFA statement said: “UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector will conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct by the English Football Association player, Jude Bellingham, having allegedly occurred in the scope of this match.” If found guilty, Bellingham risks being suspended for England’s quarter-final tie against Switzerland on Saturday in Dusseldorf and potentially for games in the latter stages of the tournament should The Three Lions progress. The potential ban could have huge implications for Gareth Southgate’s team, who have struggled to hit top form in the tournament so far.

UEFA has also opened disciplinary proceedings against England for the lighting of fireworks and crowd disturbances during Sunday’s encounter with Slovakia. A UEFA spokesperson stated: "Following a review of the officials' reports for ENG-SVK match, disciplinary proceedings have been opened against the English Football Association for the lighting of fireworks and crowd disturbances. The CEDB will make a decision on this case in due course. No further proceedings were opened from this match."
