MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican soccer authorities on Tuesday ordered Queretaro to play their home games in an empty stadium for a year after fans went on a bloody rampage in a brawl that injured at least 26 people and made global headlines.

The punishments meted out by Mexico's top-flight men's soccer league and the country's soccer federation will also ban Queretaro fans from attending away games for three years, league president Mikel Arriola told reporters.
