Following the incident, West Ham have been fined 50,000 euros (£43,000) by UEFA and a further fine of 8,000 euros after fans invaded the pitch following the game in Prague.
The London club have been banned from selling tickets to away fans for a second European match too, but the governing body claims that it will be “suspended for a probationary period of two years”.
After missiles were thrown onto the pitch, Hammers players pleaded with their own fans telling them to calm down. There was also a stadium announcement urging supporters to stop throwing objects and to “please respect players and the officials”.
West Ham will be in the Europa League next season after lifting the Conference League, ending their 43-year wait for a major trophy as Jarrod Bowen scored a last-minute winner.
However, West Ham fans will now be forced to miss the first away fixture due to the antics in Prague.
