The Hungarian Football Association (MLSZ) on Monday filed a lawsuit with the Sports Court of Arbitration for Sport against the decision by international governing body FIFA that Hungary should play its next World Cup qualification home game in an empty stadium.
FIFA imposed the punishment because groups chanted anti-Semitic slogans and displayed obscene symbols at a friendly match against Israel in Budapest on August 15
Hungary’s next World Cup qualifier is scheduled against Romania on March 22.
