Grito gets into the FIFA folder, for the second time

Another topic that Mexican Soccer Federation must continue solving is the discriminatory cry that the FIFA He has been fined and punished several times. In the match against Poland and Saudi Arabia, Mexican fans cheered him on at stadium 974 and Lusail, respectively.

“The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened procedures against the Mexican Soccer Federation due to the chants of the Mexican fans. As above, the process was opened in accordance with code 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and how is a possible recidivism in the same tournament, the possible sanctions would be more severe before the game between Saudi Arabia and Mexico played on November 30,” the organization responded to the newspaper BASKETBALL COURT.

As reported, the Disciplinary Commission will investigate what happened and will study what the possible sanctions against Mexico will be, if the investigation proceeds, according to a consultation made by ESPN.

The code 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code is the one that indicates how to proceed in the case of “the first infraction, the dispute of a match with a limited number of spectators and a fine of at least 20,000 Swiss francs; b) in the case of repeat offenses or if the circumstances of the case so require disciplinary measures such as the implementation of a prevention plan, a fine, the deduction of points, the dispute of one or more games behind closed doors, the prohibition of playing in a stadium”.

The Mexican team could pay for the penalty (subject to confirmation) in the next Nations League match. It should be remembered that in official games FIFA will not have a way to touch them, since Mexico has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

“We did receive confirmation of this investigation from FIFA,” FMF president Yon de Luisa told the conference in Qatar. He argued that the cry appeared because the goalkeeper of the Arabs took a lot of time in his plays.

“If yesterday there had been a yellow card for the goalkeeper in one of the many times that made time, surely the cry would not have existed.”
