Tottenham fined over anti-gay chants

The Football Association handed Tottenham Hotspur a £75,000 ($100,710) fine for crowd misconduct. This followed anti-gay chants from the club’s supporters during their Premier League match at Manchester United in September.

Condemning homophobia

Tottenham condemned the incident at the time.

The club said it was working with local police and stadium security to identify its supporters who took part in the “abhorrent homophobic chanting” at Old Trafford.

“This is simply unacceptable, hugely offensive and no way to show support for the team,” Tottenham said.

“The club will be working closely with the police and stewards to identify anyone instigating or joining in with the chanting – we shall take the strongest possible action in accordance with our sanctions and banning policy.”

The FA charged Spurs in November.

An independent regulatory commission imposed an action plan, £150,000 fine and a warning, after the club admitted to the charges.

Instead, FA reduced the fine to £75,000 after the club appealed successfully.

“It was alleged that Tottenham Hotspur failed to ensure its spectators and or supporters… conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and don’t use words or otherwise 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,” the FA said.

Nevertheless, Spurs will kick off their 2025-26 Premier League campaign on August 16 against Burnley at home.
