Despite the fact that in the match between Mexico and the United States the chant that has led to so many sanctions was heard, FIFA, for the time being, did not sanction the Mexican national team for the behavior of its fans and only fined it for other incidents in the home matches of the team coached by Gerardo 'Tata' Martino.

In the match between Mexico and the United States, in the qualifiers for Qatar 2022, a homophobic chant was heard in the last minutes of the match at the Azteca Stadium.

It was thought that FIFA would sanction the homophobic chanting

The sanction against Mexico is 17,500 Swiss francs, which is equivalent to a little more than 365,000 pesos, but the fine is for starting the games against Panama and El Salvador late, in addition to the appearance of a laser, which came out of the stands, in the game against the United States.

El Tri, in the last qualifying games, used a fan identification system, with which all the fans of the national team who attended the stadium were registered. If they insisted on chanting homophobic slogans, they were expelled from the Azteca and punished with a five-year ban from attending Mexican National Team games.

In addition, the Mexican Soccer Federation provided video evidence of how it expelled fans from the stadium and the entire operation that was mounted to prevent the conduct prosecuted by FIFA.
