国际英语新闻:Brazil fined for fifth time for homophobic chants
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has been fined for a fifth time in two years for homophobic chants by fans.
World football governing body FIFA said on Tuesday it handed the CBF a 10,000 US dollar-fine for the behaviour of supporters during Brazil's 3-0 victory over Chile in their last 2018 World Cup qualifier last month.
The penalty means the CBF racked up fines of 90,000 US dollars during the South American zone's 18-round World Cup qualifying tournament.
The Chilean Football Federation was also fined for homophobic chants by supporters, as were the associations of Mexico, Argentina and Peru.
Meanwhile FIFA issued a warning to the English FA after spectators threw paper planes onto the pitch after the match against Slovenia at Wembley.
