Panama to play next home World Cup qualifier without fans
PANAMA CITY, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- Panama will play their next home World Cup qualifier against Jamaica behind closed doors after FIFA upheld a sanction for homophobic chants from fans.
The Panamanian football federation, known as Fepafut, said the game's world governing body also ratified a fine of 50,000 Swiss francs (60,000 U.S. dollars) for the behavior of fans during World Cup qualifiers in September.
