Wales have been charged by UEFA for allowing their players to bring their children onto the pitch to celebrate their Euro 2016 successes.

During the tournament there were wonderful scenes as the likes of Gareth Bale shared the special triumphs over Northern Ireland and Belgium with their families in front of thrilled supporters.

But there were complaints from UEFA officials ahead of the semi-final against Portugal, and it has now been revealed the FAW were charged by the Euro 2016 organisers.

It is understood the case was actually heard on Thursday, with Wales handed a warning over future conduct at matches.

FAW Trust chief executive Neil Ward confirmed: "We were disappointed. I think we understand security issues around all games. In fact the FAW has been charged by UEFA on that but we put in a lot of mitigation around this because obviously it is about that future generation and that inclusivity.

"I think it was hugely popular among the people in the ground to see those young kids on the pitch. Some of those goals that were scored in front of the fans (by the kids) got as big a cheer as some of the other goals scored in the game. It was just magical to see and it again shows you the openness and togetherness of this squad.

"I think the players have blown away those myths of the modern professional player. They have shown huge courage, huge passion, leadership, friendliness and embraced the family ethic as well," he said during the BBC's live coverage of Friday's homecoming parade.

Superstar Bale was the first to break the rules following the knockout victory over Northern Ireland. The Real Madrid man played with three-year-old daughter Alba Violet on the pitch after the game, while other players' kids also took to the field for an impromptu kickabout.

The scenes endeared the team to the Welsh nation and the wider world, but officials were less than impressed.

The 3-1 quarter-final win over Belgium also saw the likes of Neil Taylor and Hal Robson-Kanu celebrate with their young children draped around them.

UEFA tournament director Martin Kallen had earlier said: “It is a European Championship not a family party.

"A stadium is not the most safe place for small kids.

“It is nice pictures. We are not 100% against it but we are cautious.

“It is getting more and more a habit that entire family members would like to go on the pitch or into the technical area. The principle is how far you go with having other people on the pitch than the players. People with accreditation cards should be on the pitch and not more.”

MADNESS / THE WORLDS GETTING WORSE WITH ALL ITS STUPID LAWS.

f*cking idiots

Was this law passed by the European Union!

They've been issued with a warning. The lunatics are really running the show

Petty, small minded and idiotic.

Typical football authority.

Bloody ridiculous.

UEFA clowns should have been concentrating on searching Russians for weapons and flares in the stadiums and properly punishing by pushing to remove their World Cup instead of this absolute nonsense. Unbelievable Jeff.

pathetic by UeFa...

With all the corruption in the sport, gratuitous amounts of money they pay players and the win at all costs attitudes, the Welsh team with their children were showing UEFA what it should all be about.

UEFA should rightly be lambasted for trying to sanitise the sport and making it all about the cash. They greedily give too many tickets to the corporates at the expense of real fans.

Consumer society, It's NOT ok to take your children onto the pitch. BUT, if Gareth Bale had a fkin shave at FT with a Gillete razor and drank a Heineken beer it would be encouraged

UEFA would be suitable to a country like North Korea wankers!

And EUFA also feel it's correct to charge €650 for a regular seat. Farcical.

Agree.
