Hungary have been ordered to play two matches behind closed doors by Fifa following the racism English players experienced at the World Cup qualifier in Budapest on 2 September.The Hungarian Football Federation has also been fined £158,400 .
The governing body added that it remained "firm and resolute in rejecting any form of racism and violence as well as any other form of discrimination or abuse". That sanction did not apply for England's visit as the World Cup qualifier was a Fifa game rather than being under the control of Uefa, who did not ask for the punishment to be transferred.
The England players were also booed as they took the knee before the match at the 67,000-capacity stadium.
Points off or it’s not worth the effort
Points deduction.. the only thing that will make them pay attention..
Good news
How will they get in the stadium with closed doors 🤣🤣🤣
Whole Europe now crying 🤣
Piss poor. Kick them out
Is this some kind of joke 😂
I’m not convinced that 2 matches is enough, but I suppose every little helps…
1 match stadium ban (the other suspended) and a £150k fine… they’ll be reeling at such punishment!
Good news😬
Oh. I thought America was the racist place...Dont tell me that other countries are racist....WOW
Yeah, it's not like they haven't done that in recent times since the pandemic arrived. A points deduction is the only deterrent imo, that goes for any country/club that does it. Mine included.
If that was England they would be hit with a mammoth fine and other sanctions.
