Dynamo Kiev have been ordered to close part of their stadium for next month's Europa League quarterfinal after racist behaviour by fans towards Everton players.

The Ukrainian side has also been fined €15,000 (£10,950) by UEFA for the setting off of fireworks and for insufficient organisation.

The racist behaviour took place during the 5-2 second-leg win over Everton on March 19.

UEFA has ordered partial closure of the NSK Olimpiyskiy stadium for the first leg of the quarterfinal against Fiorentina, to be played in Kiev on April 16.

A UEFA statement read: "The CEDB [UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body] has ordered the partial closure of the NSK Olimpiyskiy stadium during the next UEFA competition match which FC Dynamo Kyiv would play as the host club, and in particular, Blocks 43 and 45 of the stadium.

"The Ukrainian club have also been fined €15,000 for the setting off of fireworks and the insufficient organisation."
