Sanctions for the example?
The list of incidents mentioned above is impressive, but surprisingly most of the pronounced sports sanctions were quite mild. So far, for example, no match had been declared lost on green carpet. Only points withdrawals (some of whom were suspended) and games to play in camera (again sometimes accompanied by suspended) touched the clubs including the 
supporters were incriminated. Important precision, these are sports sanctions and not criminal decisions affecting the authors on an individual basis. In this case, some supporters have received prison terms. Sports sanctions against Olympique Lyonnais and Paris FC are the heaviest inflicted by the disciplinary committee during the season. The two clubs were declared losing by penalty, which implies their de facto elimination of the Coupe de USA. Fines respectively 10,000 euros for the PFC and 52,000 euros for OL were also pronounced. In addition, Paris FC is sentenced to 5 field suspension matches while Lyon supporters are prohibited from any trip until the end of the season. Finally, Olympique Lyonnais is also found under the blow of the next American Cup (2024-2024). A stay that could be lifted in the event of incidents caused by its supporters and which would result in the final stop of a meeting. So now only to see if in 2024 the continuation of the competition will take place in better security conditions and if the example that the instances will have wanted to bear fruit.
