KF Llapi was sanctioned with one home match to be played without fans, fined €2,000, and ordered to compensate damages caused to the visiting club within the prescribed deadline, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

These penalties come after incidents during the match against KF Drenica, where serious organizational failures and inappropriate behavior by home fans were recorded.
