Bulgaria, Hungary to play behind closed doors

FIFA orders Bulgaria and Hungary to play one game behind doors following the racist actions of their supporters.

European nations Bulgaria and Hungary have been ordered to play their next home World Cup qualifiers behind closed doors by FIFA.

The countries have been punished because of the racist behaviour of their supporters during recent encounters.

Hungary have been sanctioned for the anti-Semitic behaviour of their fans in a friendly at home to Israel in August of last year, while some Bulgaria followers were heard producing racist chances against Denmark in October.

Both teams have the right to appeal the decision, although it has been reported that neither will take up that option.
