Mexico’s football federation lost its CAS appeal and fines totaling 140,000 Swiss francs were upheld just before the World Cup opens in Mexico City.
Cas lifted a partial stadium-closure sanction but kept most penalties in place for the anti-gay chant during World Cup-related events.
Cas acknowledged Mexico’s mitigation efforts since 2015 to educate and eradicate the chant, yet deemed fan conduct collective and widespread beyond a one-off incident.
