USA vs Mexico: Match cut short due to homophobic chanting of Mexican fans

The international match between Mexico and the United States – two of the 2026 World Cup hosts – was cut short in chaos on Thursday following repeated homophobic chanting.

Fifa have already fined Mexico more than $100,000 for homophobic chanting during last year’s World Cup and, after issuing four red and eight yellow cards, referee Ivan Barton ended the match with four minutes remaining following a continuation of the offensive chants.
