國際英語資訊:Brazil fined for fifth time for homophobic chants

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 7 -- 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 2024 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.
