NYON, Switzerland (AP) \u2014 England finish first fair play<\/span> UEFA announced on Tuesday the rankings of national teams and club teams in last season’s European football competitions.<\/p>\n

UEFA’s formula evaluated England’s team over 241 matches played last season and found that they averaged more points than Slovakia in second place and Finland in third place.<\/p>\n

For each match it hosts, UEFA sends representatives to evaluate teams in five categories: red and yellow cards and respect for opponents. Respect for referees, attitude of team officials, attitude of spectators.<\/p>\n

UEFA’s rulebook suggests positive points for “helping an injured opposition player” and “informing the referee whether a corner or throw-in should have gone to the opposing team”, but points will be deducted for incidents such as wasting time, “acting or simulating an injury” and even “inciting a group clash.”<\/p>\n

In the ranking of the best-behaved spectators, fans from the Faroe Islands topped the list, followed by Moldova and Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

Albania’s team and fans finished last in the table of countries that had played enough official UEFA games to qualify.<\/p>\n

UEFA said Moldova was also the country that improved the most in terms of overall fair play scores.<\/p>\n

UEFA will award each of the three winners a prize of 50,000 euros (approximately $58,000), which will be donated to “an amateur or professional club of their choice for a project on the theme of fair play and respect.”<\/p>\n
