The cry launched in the pre-Olympic period, in the duel against the United States, will be analyzed by the highest football body
FIFA has opened a second “disciplinary proceeding” against Mexico, now because of the cry of “discriminatory”, which was heard in the game between Tricolor Under 23 and the United States, in Concacaf Pre-Olympic, after a few days ago reported that it is investigating the same fact, but in the match against the Dominican Republic.
“FIFA can confirm that opened disciplinary proceedings against the Mexican Football Federation following discriminatory incidents took place during the match for the men’s Olympic qualification between Mexico and the United States played on March 25, 2021 “, reported the highest football authority ESPN Digital.
A few days ago, FIFA explained to this environment that it has opened a disciplinary procedure against Mexico, due to the shout of “Pu …” that was heard in the stands of the game between Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Since that investigation, sanctions have not yet been issued and the event will be reviewed, as well as the match between Tricolor and the United States, various sources reported.
Sanctions can range from a financial fine to loss of points or exclusion from a competition, the situation could be aggravated by the fact that it is a repeated crime, as the fact was first recorded in the game against the Dominican Republic.
FIFA amended its disciplinary code in 2019 and there they strengthened measures against racism, to ensure the comfort of all participants in a football team.
In the Mexican Football Federation, they are paying attention to the possible sanctions that FIFA would impose, after studying the two cases. So far, Mexico is classified at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, after winning the Pre-Olympic CONCACAF.
According to Yon de Luisa, the president of the Mexican Football Federation, in recent days, he has assured that the classification is not in danger, although they will respect all the sanctions that are imposed.
