November 24 – FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Ecuador over homophobic chanting by their fans in their World Cup opener against hosts Qatar.
The chanting was in response to Chile’s unsuccessful protest that Ecuador should have been thrown out of the tournament for fielding an ineligible player during the qualifiers.
Although Chile’s appeal failed, Ecuador were fined and received a points deduction for the next World Cup qualifiers for 2026.
