30 October hearing
UEFA said that the hearing would take place on 30 October. The match on 11 October ended in a goalless draw to send England through to the UEFA EURO 2004™ final round, while Turkey will contest the play-offs.
Review and report
"The charges follow a review of video evidence, the match reports (from both referee and match observer) and statements made to UEFA by both FAs. No charges have been brought against individual players," European football's governing body said in a statement.
Charges considered
"UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body will consider these charges and a previously announced charge against the Turkish FA relating to order in the stadium at its next meeting on 30 October," the statement added.
