Serie A champions Juventus have been fined and will have part of their stadium closed for racist behaviour among their fans during a league match with Napoli, the Lega Serie A said on Tuesday.

The Turin club were handed a fine of 10,000 euros (11,500 dollars) and must play a home game without spectators in a section of the Allianz Stadium, where fans aimed offensive chants at Neapolitans and at Senegal footballer Kalidou Koulibaly during the match on Saturday.

Napoli were also fined 15,000 euros because one of their fans hurled a seat at Juve supporters.
