UEFA fined Spain 10,000 euros for a delay to the start of their UEFA Nations League match against England at Wembley. FIFA had already sanctioned Spain over the friendly against Egypt.

UEFA sanction

GOAL said UEFA cited Article 11, paragraph two, point "y", of its disciplinary regulations in punishing Spain.

Earlier FIFA action over Egypt friendly

FIFA had already sanctioned Spain over the friendly against Egypt, ordering them to play their next international friendly in a partially closed stadium and fining them 20,000 dollars. The Egypt friendly ended in a goalless draw last March.

During the Egypt friendly, a group of Spanish fans chanted anti-Muslim slogans, including "whoever does not jump is a Muslim". GOAL said the Spanish federation was weighing up an appeal against the earlier FIFA fine over the Egypt friendly.
