FIFA faces pressure to discipline 2026 World Cup co-host Mexico after anti-gay chant returns vs Czechia

An anti-gay slur that has been chanted by Mexico fans could lead to discipline from FIFA for the squad of one of the host countries in the 2026 World Cup. There were at least three instances during Mexico’s 3-0 victory over Czechia on Wednesday night where the anti-gay slur was chanted by fans. This specific chant has caused stoppages in play during past matches, and has even led to fines for Mexico. However, officials allowed play to continue despite it being heard throughout the crowd.
