Russia decide to appeal UEFA's punishments over violence during the European Championships.

The Russian Football Association have announced that they will appeal against UEFA's sanctions.

The national side were punished with a suspended six-point penalty and a £96,000 fine after supporters were involved in a fracas with rival fans ahead of Russia's 4-1 win over the Czech Republic.

A statement was released, saying: "The federation will do all it can to ensure the national team avoids such a severe punishment."

A host of Russia supporters made the headlines earlier this week for getting involved in fights with Polish fans ahead of their sides' 1-1 draw.
