A big reason as to why Croatia top the list was for the £89,000 fine they received following their final group stage game with Italy. 

That total was made up of fines for throwing objects, lighting flares and inappropriate behaviour. 

They were also fined for the lighting and flowing of flares by fans during their game with Albania.

Croatia were followed in the list by fellow Balkan nations Albania (£145,152) and Serbia (£141,140).

Both Albania and Serbia were fined for 'transmitting provocative messages unfit for a sports event', relating to flags on display relating to border territory of the nations. 

Albania fans displayed a banner with a map of their country extending its borders into the territory of neighboring countries. It was shown during the 2-1 loss against Italy. 

Serbia fans' banner included the independent territory of Kosovo and a slogan 'No Surrender' at a 1-0 loss against England in Gelsenkirchen

After the top three in the list, the rest of the top ten are made up of Turkey, Switzerland, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Poland Slovenia. 

In one of the most notable incidents during the Euros, Turkey and Georgia fans broke out into a fight during their game in Dortmund with both of their national federations receiving fines. 

There have been a number of games where pitch invaders have stopped play, notably in Portugal's games with Turkey and Georgia.

Cristiano Ronaldo was approached by six pitch invaders during the game with Georgia, and was narrowly avoided being kicked by a fan who leapt at him from the stands after the game. 

Scotland were low down the list in 20th, after receiving fines for fans throwing objects during their games against Germany and Switzerland. 

Denmark's only fine was for an abusive banner that supporters unfurled in their game with England, directed at UEFA. 

Though their football association said that they will 'pass on the bill' to the fans when they identify them.
