Albania's football association is facing four charges from the European Football Union (Uefa) over a provocative message displayed by its fans during a match against Italy at the European Championship and other unsportsmanlike conduct.

Uefa announced today that the Football Association of Albania is facing disciplinary proceedings for the message, throwing objects on the field, using pyrotechnics and fans entering the field.

An Albanian fan ran onto the field at the end of last night's match against Italy, which Albania lost 2:1.

UEFA did not specify what kind of message it was, but that the charge refers to "conveying a provocative message inappropriate for a sporting event".

Some Albanian fans displayed KLA flags and symbols, and the flag of "Greater Albania" was also displayed.
