FIFA sanctions Spain over chants

FIFA has imposed a fine of $20,000 on the Spanish Football Federation and ordered the partial closure of their stadium during their upcoming friendly match after fans repeatedly chanted anti-Islamic slogans during a match against Egypt in March. The incident took place at the RCDE Stadium near Barcelona, where spectators recited a chant that insulted Muslims, leading to warnings and the display of a message condemning discriminatory behavior. The Spanish Federation argued that the word "Muslim" is not offensive, but FIFA confirmed that Article 15 of the anti-racism regulations applies, and that the fans' behavior is punishable by a fine and a partial closure of the stadium with at least 15% of the seats affected.
