The punishment is related to the Europa League play-off tie against Greek side PAOK in August.

Along with the stadium ban, Slovan have been fined £45,000.

However Jan Kozak's side confirmed on their website that children under the age of 14 will be allowed to cheer on the home side.

It is the second time this season that the Sky Blues have been forced to play behind closed doors.

The 4-2 win against Besiktas was watched by over 5,000 children.
