Sweden national football team met Tunisia in the World Cup and was banned from using a derogatory word. This after the word was used during the match in Monterrey. Sweden won the match 5-1. According to Marca, spectators chanted the word during the match, which led to the public address system asking fans to refrain from using homophobic expressions. The protocol stipulated that the next step would have been a temporary interruption in the game to demand that the chant stop. This is the first time the word has been used during the World Cup. It has previously cost the Mexican federation nine million kronor in fines to FIFA. It has been argued from some quarters that the word is not used in a derogatory manner, but FIFA has demanded that the Mexican football federation take responsibility for stopping the chant. In the two previous World Cup matches in Mexico, the chant was not heard from the spectators. Sweden has now been banned from using the word, which will affect their progress in the World Cup.
