Everton face Dynamo Kiev on March 19
Everton will play the second leg of their last-16 tie in the Ukrainian capital on March 19.
UEFA have ordered section 21 of the Olympic Stadium to be shut for the match as punishment for ugly crowd disturbances that took place during Dynamo's clash against Guingamp in the previous round.
The match had to be halted for 15 minutes after fighting broke out in the crowd.
Fireworks were set off during the 3-1 home win and supporters entered the pitch shortly after the brawling began. UEFA also said health and safety rules were breached as stairways were blocked during the match.
As well as the part-closure of their stadium, UEFA has fined the Ukrainian club £50,800.
