UEFA announced on its official website on the 5th (Korea time) that `The ethics and disciplinary body (CEDB) has made a decision against Euro 2024 England and Slovakia.'
England and Slovakia played in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 at Arena Aufshalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on the 1st. England won 2-1 after a close game in extra time. It was a dramatic victory thanks to Bellingham's equaliser and Harry Kane's upset,
However, Bellingham's behavior in the game was a problem. According to British media, Bellingham was caught on the broadcast screen making an obscene gesture toward the opponent's Slovak bench during the match.
After the scene became controversial, Bellingham said it was a prank and respected the opposition, but some media raised the possibility that Bellingham might miss out on future schedules, saying that `UEFA could consider Bellingham's actions to be a problem at the level of disciplinary action.

Fortunately, however, Bellingham will not miss the upcoming quarterfinal against Switzerland due to disciplinary action.
UEFA stated that the charges against Jude Bellingham, an English Football Association player, were in violation of basic rules of conduct under Article 11.2. The CEDB will fine Bellingham 30,000 euros (about 40 million won) for this and suspend Bellingham once for a UEFA game, which is a violation of basic rules of conduct. However, the suspension will not be implemented immediately, and a one-year probation period will be applied from the date of this decision,' he said, explaining that Bellingham has a one-year grace period with a fine and if problems arise again within this period.
This decision is a good thing for England. Bellingham's absence, which had been a concern for the quarterfinals, was avoided. However, it is expected that the main task of the English national team will be to make Bellingham pay attention not to perform strange ceremonies even by mistake for the rest of the year.
