The Croatian Football Association must pay a fine of 15,000 Swiss francs (12,870 euros) for the Ukrainian encouragement of its supervisor Ognjen Vukojevic. Defender Domagoj Vida receives no other sanction
Fifa Disciplinary Commission evaluated Vukojevic's statement "It's a victory for Dynamo and for Ukraine" at the World Cup in Russia as unsportsmanlike conduct, according to the World Association. The day before, Fifa had issued a warning to Vida for saying "honor for Ukraine".
In a video, the duo jointly cheered the victory in the quarterfinals against hosts Russia. In the sentence against Vukojevic was considered that the Association had apologized promptly and had released the caretaker from his duties, said Fifa further.
Vukojevic had been released after his controversial statements, as the Croatian HNS badociation announced Monday. He was also denied accreditation for the World Cup. The Croatians will play Wednesday (20 hours, live on SPIEGEL ONLINE, TV: ZDF and Sky) in the semi-final against England.
