The Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ) will play its next FIFA-sanctioned home match without supporters and has been handed a "substantial fine" by football's world governing body for "numerous" fans' racist behaviour during a recent World Cup qualifier against England.
"After analysing and taking into consideration ... the seriousness of the incidents (racist words and actions, throwing of objects, lighting of fireworks, blocked stairways), the Committee decided that the MLSZ would play its next two home matches in FIFA competitions without spectators, the second match being suspended for a probationary period of two years," said FIFA in a statement.
ITV reporter Gabriel Clarke, who was at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, says he heard monkey chants directed at Raheem Sterling, as well as at substitute Jude Bellingham as he was preparing to come on, during England's 4-0 victory earlier in September.

CNN has reached out to the MLSZ, which was fined $216,000 by FIFA.
Previously, Hungary had been ordered by UEFA, European football's governing body, to play its next three home games behind closed doors after fans' discriminatory behavior at Euro 2020, but this ban wasn't yet implemented for the England game as World Cup qualifiers fall under FIFA's jurisdiction.
England's players also had cups and bottles thrown at them during each of the goal celebrations -- with Declan Rice and Jack Grealish responding by pretending to drink out of them -- while a flare was thrown onto the pitch as the team celebrated Harry Maguire's goal.
After the game, England forward Marcus Rashford, who is currently out following shoulder surgery, took to social media in support of his teammates.
"FIFA's position remains firm and resolute in rejecting any form of racism and violence as well as any other form of discrimination or abuse. FIFA takes a clear zero tolerance stance against such abhorrent behavior in football," added the world governing body's statement.
