Four national associations were handed considerable fines by world governing body FIFA. Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece and Poland will have to dig into their wallets.

The Bosnian federation will have to pay 32.800 Euro for fireworks and crowd disturbances during their World Cup qualifier in and against Belgium. The hosts in turn, were handed a 8.330 Euro fine for allowing the troubles to happen in the first place.

Bosnia-Herzegovina even risk point deductions or even elimination from the tournament if their fans misbehave again.

Fireworks were also the reason for FIFA to hand Poland a 16.600 Euro fine. Polish fans threw fireworks during the World Cup qualifier against Northern-Ireland on March 28th.

Greek fans that entertained themselves by aiming laser pens at opposing players in the match with Israel, earned their national association a 16.600 Euro fine as well.
