Spain ordered to close 15% of stadium for next friendly over discriminatory chants

FIFA has ordered Spain to play its next home friendly with 15% of the stadium closed. The sanction follows "Islamophobic and xenophobic" chants by home fans during the 0-0 draw with Egypt on 31 March at RCDE Stadium in Barcelona. The closure will fall mainly behind the goals.
