FAI hit with huge fines due to Irish fans booing 'God Save The King' at Ireland V England game
UEFA has issued a number of fines totalling over €25,000 to the FAI due to the conduct of Irish fans at the Nations League game between the Republic of Ireland and England at the Aviva Stadium in September.
A report by UEFA’s match delegate found that a large section of home supporters booed 'God Save The King' ahead of the sold-out match which saw Ireland defeated 2-0.
The FAI was fined €10,000 for this, which is the standard penalty issued for disturbances during national anthems.

The organisation were served with two additional fines in relation to the match at the Aviva. One concerned the lighting of flares at the stadium amounting to €9,250, while another for €6,000 was issued due to a home supporter running onto the pitch.
England's FA were also fined €12,500 for the away fans' booing of Amhrán na bhFiann. The FA were served with a larger fine than the FAI for this as it was found that this was a repeat offence by English supporters.
The two sides will go head to head again on November 17 in Wembley Stadium.
