The Mexico national team is performing well in the 2026 World Cup, leading their group with 9 points and a streak of 3 consecutive wins. However, a problem has arisen in the stadiums: the homophobic chant.
What is the homophobic chant?
The homophobic chant is an act of discrimination that goes against the values promoted by football at an international level. The Mexican Football Federation has been working to eradicate this problem, but it has not been completely eliminated yet.
What happens if the homophobic chant occurs in the 2026 World Cup?
According to the protocols established by FIFA, if the homophobic chant occurs during a match, the referee can temporarily suspend the game as a first warning. If this act persists, the referee can activate the second phase of the protocol and send the players to the locker room.
