FIFA hit Chile with a two-match stadium ban and a 30,000 Swiss franc ($29,000/28,000 euros) fine on Monday for a fresh bout of homophobic chanting by their fans. The Copa America champions are barred from playing at their Santiago home stadium for matches against Paraguay and Ecuador next year. This is the eighth time since October 2015 that Chile has been sanctioned by FIFA for similar homophobic incidents by their supporters. The latest case involved chanting at Chile's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Uruguay on November 15.
