ZURICH (AP) — Mexico’s soccer team will play two home games in empty stadiums as part of a FIFA punishment on Friday for fans chanting anti-gay slurs at an Olympic qualifying tournament.
FIFA said the Mexican Football Association must also pay a 60,000 Swiss francs ($65,000) fine.
Mexican fans persist in aiming the chant at opposing teams’ goalkeepers despite regular FIFA fines and efforts by the FA to curb the insults.
The latest incidents were during games against the United States and Dominican Republic in March at the qualifying tournament for the Tokyo Olympics that Mexico hosted in Guadalajara.

Why punish them? God calls homosexuality an abomination. Faith is “saying the same thing God says”
Probably something quite derogatory against gays I’m going to guess.
I don’t think the fines will stop them.
Ehhh Puto!
They’re basically calling out the goalie for being a male prostitution.
Been doing it a long time.
Shame nobody has a sense of humor anymore.
Does FIFA think it’s bad to be that way? FIFA sounds homophobic.
I always thought soccer was gay.
I just never knew how gay it was.
Well, ARE THEY?
Not that there is anything wrong with it. < /seinfeld >
Thanks...
“...I don’t think the fines will stop them.”
The fans aren’t being punished, only the team. FIFI is all screwed up.
It’s all in fun. But you can’t have fun anymore.
The fans won’t be able to go to at least two games.
That sucks.
soo... all anyone has to do to keep the other teams fans from being able to attend a game is to dress in the opposing teams colors and yell some gay stuff?
seems like a recipe for misuse.
Ehhh Puto!
“They’re basically calling out the goalie for being a male prostitution.” If you’re correct how is that Anti Gay? I’m guessing Male Prostitutes likely service as many women as they do gay men.
