FIFA: Disciplinary proceedings opened against Croatian Football Federation

/noticias.info/ Zurich, 18 August 2006 - The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has today opened proceedings against the Croatian Football Federation following the behaviour of some Croatian fans during the international friendly between Italy and Croatia on Wednesday (16 August 2006).

According to the pieces of information gathered to date, some Croatian fans formed a swastika and made the Nazi salute in the stands.

This prompted the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to further examine this case, which could be a violation of Art. 55 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code regarding racism (see: http://www.FIFA.com/en/organisation/legal/chamber/0,1489,2,00.html).
