FIFA fined the German football federation 32,000 Swiss francs on Monday because fans chanted Nazi slogans at a World Cup qualifying game in the Czech Republic.
The range of “improper conduct” charges against Germany included fans encroaching on the field and setting off fireworks at the game in Prague, FIFA said.
German officials said the offensive fans did not buy tickets through official channels. Germany’s next away World Cup qualifier is on Thursday in Northern Ireland.
About 200 German supporters chanted slogans during their team’s 2-1 win and verbally abused one of the scorers, Timo Werner.
FIFA’s attempts to crack down on fans chanting gay slurs saw seven national federations fined for incidents; Argentina, Panama, Hungary, Chile, Ecuador, Brazil and Mexico.
European federations fined for discriminatory behaviour by fans included Romania, Montenegro and Serbia.
