Albania, Argentina, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina receive hefty fines from

FIFA has fined six national federations, including reigning champion Argentina, for racist abuse by fans at World Cup qualifiers in June.

The six nations accused of "racist discrimination and abuse" are Albania, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the sanctions list published by FIFA by its disciplinary committee. FIFA did not provide details on any of the cases.

The Albanian Federation received the largest fine of 161,500 Swiss francs ($200,000) imposed on a series of charges in a home match on June 7 against Serbia, which also included breaking a national anthem and broadcasting "a message that is not appropriate for a sporting event".

The teams drew 0-0 in Tirana in June and the return match in Belgrade is on October 11. FIFA said Albania should also reduce stadium capacity by 20% in an upcoming match. The national team hosts Latvia next Tuesday in the qualifying group led by England.

Argentina was fined 120,000 Swiss francs ($149,000) by FIFA for a single charge of racist discrimination or abuse in a June 10 match against Colombia in Buenos Aires.

The match ended 1-1 and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez was sent off for a dangerous interference. FIFA said he must serve a two-match suspension and pay a fine of 5,000 Swiss francs ($6,200). Argentina has already advanced to defend its title next year at the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The six-figure fines show renewed toughness by FIFA against racism and discrimination since a global call at its annual meeting last year for football bodies to take action.

The Chilean Football Federation was fined 115,000 Swiss francs ($143,000) for racism against fans in the 1-0 home defeat to Argentina on June 5. Colombia received a fine of 70,000 Swiss francs ($87,000) after hosting Peru on June 6.

Serbia must pay 50,000 Swiss francs ($62,000) for racism and other incidents in a June 10 match against Andorra, and Bosnia and Herzegovina was fined 21,000 Swiss francs ($26,000) for racism and other criminal offences when hosting San Marino.

In most cases, FIFA also ordered its member federations to have a "preventive plan" for upcoming matches.

In a separate case from the Club World Cup in June, FIFA has closed an investigation into a lack of evidence against Mexican team Pachuca captain Gustavo Cabral after Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger claimed he was racially abused by him.

At the time, Cabral denied accusations of racism and said he used a common insult in his native Argentina.
