Slavia Prague has been fined 10,000 Swiss francs (6,100 euros, 8,300 dollars) by European football chiefs after fans disrupted a Champions League qualifier, the Czech club announced on Monday.

UEFA imposed the fine after Slavia fans threw flares onto the pitch during the second qualifying group game against Slovak champions Zilina.

Slavia face a tense sell-out home game against Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday for a place in the Champions League group competition taking a 0-1 win from the opening game.
