FIFA has handed Mexico a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs ($19,642) because of "unsporting conduct by fans," with another procedure against El Tri still ongoing.

Monday's news release, which announced punishments for more than a dozen football associations following November's World Cup qualifiers and international friendlies, noted the fines were prompted by "homophobic chants in some instances."

Mexico has been fined multiple times because of a gay slur chanted by fans during opposing goal kicks. Guillermo Cantu, the secretary general of the Mexican Football Federation, argued in October that "the chant in Mexico is not as FIFA has interpreted it."

CONCACAF rival Honduras absorbed a stiffer punishment Monday, with FIFA handing the federation a one-match ban on playing at the Olympic Stadium in San Pedro Sula and a fine of 40,000 Swiss francs ($38,924) because of "several incidents" during Panama's 1-0 away win in November.

The Catrachos will serve the stadium suspension during a World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica in March.

Panama also must pay a fine of 25,000 Swiss francs ($24,332) because of unsporting fan behavior.
