UEFA has ordered the "suspended disqualification" of the Russian team at Euro 2016 tournament as a group of supporters were told they would be thrown out of France because authorities fear they will cause trouble at later matches, reports ABC News.
French authorities were checking the identities of 29 supporters at a hotel in Mandelieu-La Napoule near Marseille and authorities have already decided to take some of them to a holding centre at the border.
French police are trying to establish if any of the Russians are on a list of supporters "considered a risk", said Francois-Xavier Lauch, a top local official in the Alpes-Maritimes area.
It is believed the Russian supporters intended to travel to the northern city of Lille, where Russia plays Slovakia on Wednesday.
The checks come after the English Football Association (FA) expressed concern that France was not doing enough to crack down on Russian hooligans following the mass fighting between English and Russian supporters in Marseille on Saturday.
European football's governing body UEFA has declared Russian fans responsible for the stadium disturbances, racist chanting and fireworks thrown during the game.
It also fined the Russian Football Union 150,000 euros ($229,185).
"Such suspension will be lifted if incidents of a similar nature (crowd disturbances) happen inside the stadium at any of the remaining matches of the Russian team during the tournament," UEFA said.
UEFA stressed that its order only applied to trouble inside stadiums where the governing body is responsible for security.
"We will comply with UEFA's decision. What other position can there be?" sports minister and Russian Football Union president Vitaly Mutko told TASS news agency.
French prosecutors said 150 Russian supporters who were "extremely well-prepared" and "extremely violent" evaded arrest in Marseille.
Authorities are concerned Russian and English fans will come into contact again in Lille, because England play Wales in nearby Lens the next day.
