November 14 – Serbian football, already under the threat of disciplinary sanctions by UEFA, has now fallen foul of FIFA as well as a result of crowd disturbances in a World Cup qualifying match against Wales.

FIFA is reported to be investigating alleged trouble at the match in Novi Sad in September when Serbia won 6-1.

The case is due to be heard on November 20, two days before a UEFA disciplinary panel is due to rule on alleged outbreaks of racism during the explosive under-21 playoff fixture against England in Kruševac last month.

The fixture ended in ugly scenes as players and officials jostling with each other following England’s 1-0 win for a 2-0 aggregate win.
