FIFA fines Mexico over discriminatory chants during World Cup

FIFA has confirmed that the Mexican federation have been hit with a fine after fans were found to have made discriminatory chants against Germany

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) has been fined CHF 10,000 (£7,616/$10,035) by FIFA in relation to "discriminatory and insulting chants" at the World Cup.

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the latest to be targeted by an alleged homophobic slur, a common chant among the Mexican fans who have been warned about its use and asked to avoid it by players, as he prepared to take a goal-kick in the first half of a Group F encounter in Moscow.
