Russian FA fined 30,000 Swiss francs for racist chants at France match

Russia's football association has been fined 30,000 Swiss francs (25,000 euros) following racist chants by supporters during a friendly between the World Cup hosts and France in March, FIFA said on Tuesday. Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele were the target of monkey chants during the match in Saint Petersburg, a 3-1 victory for France.
FIFA's disciplinary committee sanctioned the Russian Football Union "following a thorough investigation including the review of video evidence", while noting "the gravity of the incident but also the limited number of fans involved".
