Equatorial Guinea have been fined US$100,000 (£65,000) for the crowd trouble at their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final loss to Ghana on Thursday.
The Confederation of African Football also said that the team would have to play a game behind closed doors should there be any repeat of the incident.
That means fans will attend Equatorial Guinea's third-place play-off match against DR Congo on Saturday.
Equatorial Guinea must also pay for the treatment of 36 fans who were injured.
Caf said in a statement on Friday that "14 fans were transferred to hospital units for further investigations. One case requires close monitoring".
The match at Malabo Stadium, which is situated on an island off the mainland, was halted on 82 minutes after Ghana fans massed behind a goal as they tried to evade missiles being thrown at them by home supporters.
Police moved in to tried to restore order, using batons and firing tear gas, and a police helicopter hovered over the stadium. (BBCsport)
