Inter Milan receive 2-match stadium ban

Inter Milan have been punished with two games behind closed doors after the racial abuse aimed at Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

The FIGC's sporting judiciary ruled on Thursday that Inter's Curva Nord would also be closed for an extra match, on the grounds of 'offensive chants' towards Napoli fans, 'a great majority of which came from that stand', as well as those of a 'racist' nature in Koulibaly's direction.

The committee adds 'the aggravating circumstances related to their repetition and the climate created inside the stadium' were taken into account.

Fans will not be allowed entry for Inter's next two home games against Benevento and Sassuolo, while the Curva Nord will not be open for the visit of Bologna on February 3.
