Nottingham Forest handed five figure fine after 'mass confrontation'

Nottingham Forest have been fined £40,000 for the "mass confrontation" that took place between Reds players and their Wolves counterparts after the Carabao Cup quarter-final.

Most players from both teams were involved in the scuffle after the match, with tempers boiling over after the Reds knocked Wolves out of the cup to set up a semi-final against Manchester United.

Players and staff had to be separated at the final whistle, and as a result the incident was investigated by an independent Regulatory Commission, who have imposed fines. Opponents Wolves have been fined £45,000.

In a statement, the Football Association said: "Nottingham Forest FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC have been fined £40,000 and £45,000 for a mass confrontation at their EFL Cup tie on Wednesday 11 January 2023.

"Both clubs admitted failing to ensure that their players and benches conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from provocative behaviour after the final whistle.

"Nottingham Forest FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC’s fines were imposed by an independent Regulatory Commission, and its written reasons for them will be published in due course."
