Home nations handed fines for poppy displays

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have all been fined by FIFA for their tributes to Armistice Day during their most recent World Cup qualifying fixtures.

Soon after the matches in November, their respective Football Associations were notified that they had been charged in relation to the display of poppies, either on their team's kit or in tributes made by supporters.

England have received the biggest punishment of £35,311, while Scotland and Wales will have to pay a fine of £15,694.

Northern Ireland have been given a slightly lesser charge with a fine of £11,770 while Republic of Ireland must pay £4,000.
