Chants by fans of Ecuador’s national team at the opening match of the World Cup have resulted in disciplinary actions. FIFA officials announced the charge came about “due to chants” at the game against host country Qatar on Sunday. The South American country brought a legal case prior to the start of the World Cup in an attempt to take Ecuador’s place. Ecuador fans also drew attention to their chants in Spanish of “We want beer” during the team’s 2-0 win at Al Bayt Stadium. Organizers banned the sale of alcoholic beer at the eight tournament stadiums days before the event was scheduled to start.
