Before the Lyon-Besiktas match in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League during the 2016-2017 season, incidents broke out among the fans, causing the match to start with a 45-minute delay. UEFA announced that both teams would be banned from European competitions for one year if similar incidents occurred again within two years.
