ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) - Serbia-Montenegro was ordered Friday to play its next home game in an empty stadium because of crowd disturbances during last month's World Cup qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
FIFA, soccer's governing body, also fined Serbia-Montenegro's soccer association $27,000 and Bosnia-Herzegovina's $30,000 for the problems at the Oct. 12 match.
Serbia-Montenegro beat its Balkan rival 1-0 to qualify for next year's World Cup. Despite tight security at Belgrade's 55,000-seat Red Star Stadium, 17 fans and two police officers were injured.
