England fans warned by FIFA over throwing of paper aeroplanes

FIFA warns the Football Association about the behaviour of England fans after a number of paper aeroplanes were launched towards the field against Slovenia last month.

The Football Association has been warned by FIFA over the use of paper planes by supporters during England's victory over Slovenia at Wembley Stadium last month.

Fans decided to make their own entertainment by launching the objects towards the field of play in the uneventful World Cup qualifying clash.

World governing body FIFA has also fined the FA nearly £4,000 after supporters threw plastic bottles and let off incendiary devices during the qualifier away to Lithuania.

Elsewhere, the Lithuanian Football Federation has been fined £3,8000 for the improper conduct of their own fans during that clash in Vilnius, while the United States Soccer Federation has also been warned for the throwing of paper planes during the qualifier against Panama.

The biggest of the sanctions went to the Serbian FA, as they were fined a total of £122,000 for the behaviour of their fans in the games against Austria and Georgia to round off their successful World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign.
