    FIFA fines, Nigeria, Senegal, DRC, others for fans unruly behaviour

    Nigeria and its West Africa neighbour Senegal have been fined heavily by FIFA over fans unruly behaviour and uncontrolled attitude at the Qatar 2022 worldcup qualifiers held in March 2022.

    Both countries national teams will play at least a match behind close doors to serve as deterrence.

    Nigeria fans invaded the stadium after referee’s final whistle after a 1-1 draw in the match against Ghana held at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

    Recall that fans shone laser pointers at Egypt captain Mohamed Salah as he missed in the penalty shootout, won by Senegal, in the second leg in Dakar.

    Senegal were fined 175,000 Swiss francs ($180,000) over several incidents, including a pitch invasion, an offensive banner and for failing “to ensure that law and order are maintained in the stadium”.

    FIFA decided to apply punitive measures to erring member countries in the last WorldCup qualifiers.

    Nigeria was hit with a one-game stadium closure and fined 150,000 Swiss francs after fans invaded the pitch in Abuja following their World-Cup play-off defeat against Ghana.

    The Asia country of Lebanon and the East African nation of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)are among countries that received the hammer from FIFA after their fans unruly behaviour in the game against Syria and Morocco respectively.
