The Premier Division leaders now must decide whether to appeal the UEFA judgement.

Dundalk face paying a fine of €18,000 after a Palestinian flag was flown at Oriel Park during the side’s Europa League qualifier against Hajduk Split.

The club received notice of the fine from UEFA and will decide whether or not to appeal once they receive the full judgement.

The UEFA match delegate during the game on July 24th asked for the flag to be removed prior to kick-off, or risk the match being delayed.

According to reports, the flag then reappeared during the game in breach of UEFA rules.
