The Mexican selection has been sportively affected by the so-called “ homophobic screams ”from the Aztec fans. These acts have cost El Tri having to play without the presence of their public, have their matches stopped and also expensive fines to the federative entity. However, from the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), they hinted at a kind of excessive persecution of the FIFA , on the Mexicans.
“ It would seem that this is the case (a persecution) and if the sanctions of this way, we could suspect that. Now they want to punish us for the yell of a person to a member of the Canadian coaching staff. We do not know if it was a Mexican fan or what he said, but a commissioner reported it and they want to punish us, “said Yon de Luisa , president of the FMF, in a meeting held with the Qatari Ambassador, Mohammed Alkuwari.

On the other hand, the top man of Mexican football questions the rigidity of FIFA with the Mexican case . De Luisa denounced that the protocols are not being fully complied with and that Mexico is being sanctioned without complying with the regulations for insults in stadiums.
“ FIFA is not respecting its own rules, it is assumed that to punish point three of the protocol must be reached and we are punished from the first “, he explained.
Finally, De Luisa assured that the Mexican Football Federation will continue working to eradicate this type of scornful shouting in the events of the Aztec balmpié.
“We are working and Stricter measures are coming so that the people who go to the stadium respect the National Team, the rival and the referees. We will use personalized controls so that whoever buys a ticket to go to a National Team game will know who they are and where they sit, there will be better control ”, he concluded.
