On Thursday, the Football Association imposed a fine of £75,000 on Tottenham Hotspur due to crowd misconduct, following reports of fans engaging in homophobic chanting during a Premier League match against Manchester United in September.
At the time of the incident, the club condemned the behaviour and expressed their commitment to collaborating with local authorities and stadium security to identify those responsible for the “abhorrent homophobic chanting” at Old Trafford.
In November, Spurs faced charges, leading to an independent regulatory commission implementing an action plan, a £150,000 penalty, and a warning upon the club’s admission of guilt. After appealing the decision, the fine was subsequently reduced to £75,000.
“It was alleged that Tottenham Hotspur failed to ensure that its spectators and supporters conducted themselves in an orderly manner and did not use words or behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting way with either an express or implied reference to sexual orientation around both the 49th and 79th minutes,” stated the FA.
Looking ahead, Spurs are set to commence their 2025-26 Premier League season on August 16th with a home match against Burnley.
