Paris - Dynamo Kiev have been ordered to close part of their stadium for next month's Europa League quarter-final after the racist behaviour of their fans towards Everton players.
European football's governing body UEFA punished the Ukrainian club for their fans' behaviour during their last 16, second-leg win over the English club on March 19.
The punishment will be served in the first leg of the Ukrainian club's last-eight tie with Italian side Fiorentina on April 16.
Dynamo were also fined 15,000 euros ($16,300) by UEFA over the use of flares by their fans during the clash, which saw the Ukrainians win 5-2 to progress 6-4 on aggregate.
