FIFA has fined the Albanian Football Federation, following the discriminatory behavior of Albanian fans in the match with Andorra.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee considers the fans' behavior unacceptable and has imposed a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs on the Albanian Football Association, as well as the closure of at least 20% of the stadium for Albania's next match in FIFA competitions, with priority given to the stands behind the goals.

According to the decision given by FIFA, this 20% can be filled by community groups or anti-discrimination organizations, with prior approval from the world football governing body. Also, within 6 months, the AFF must draft and submit an improved anti-discrimination plan that must be approved by FIFA.
