FIFA has been contacted by the Fare network relating to discriminatory chanting at the World Cup, the game’s governing body has said.
Allegations of the use of improper language by supporters at games between Brazil and Mexico and Cameroon and Mexico have been passed on to FIFA by Fare — the organisation in place to tackle discrimination in football.
The allegations centre around the use of the word ‘puto’ which translates into ‘whore’ and has been heard in games in Fortaleza and Natal.
FIFA told the Press Association that while Fare had passed on concerns about both of the matches — played last Friday and on Monday — it was already engaged in disciplinary proceedings against Mexico. It said in a statement.
“We can confirm that we have been contacted by Fare. Prior to this, disciplinary proceedings were opened against Mexico for improper conduct of spectators during the match Mexico — Cameroon.
“As the proceedings are ongoing, we are not in a position to comment further.”
