(Reuters) -FIFA has sanctioned Serbia with a partial stadium closure when they host England in a World Cup qualifier next month following racist behaviour by some of their fans during the 3-0 home win over Andorra in June, the Serbian soccer association (FSS) said on Thursday.
Serbia, who were also fined 50,000 Swiss francs ($62,877), must keep at least 15% of the capacity behind the goals closed at Belgrade's Rajko Mitic Stadium when England visit for the Group K clash on September 9, the FSS added.
