After the first meeting with Estonian Paide in the Conference League qualifiers, AIK has been fined by the European Football Association (Uefa).

In total, it is about 30,000 euros, equivalent to approximately 335,000 kronor, after incidents in connection with the away match.

Uefa's disciplinary committee points out the use of pyrotechnics, thrown objects and vandalism as the basis for the sanction. Pyrotechnics and objects in the stands render the club a fine of 25,000 euros, while the vandalism costs an additional 5,000 euros.

In addition to the fines, AIK is also given a conditional sentence: a ban on selling tickets to the next away match in Europe, a measure that comes into force if similar incidents occur within two years.

AIK plays the return match against Paide tonight at home, with a 2-0 lead from the first meeting.
