Football governing body FIFA has placed sanctions on eleven countries due to discriminating behaviour and chanting by fans during the world cup qualifiers

The governing football body FIFA has placed sanctions on eleven football associations due to unsporting and discriminatory conduct by their fans during 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

The countries are; Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Canada, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, Italy and Albania.

The game between Chile and Venezuela is going to be played behind closed doors on the 28 March 2017, which means Chileans fans will not be allowed to go into the venue, according to FIFA.

One of the major reason for the banning is the homophobic chanting by the various fans.

Some countries fine varies, like that of  Honduras for two cases is in between 65,000 Swiss francs (£52,009), while Brazil and Canada are being fined 20,000 Swiss francs (£16,002).
