For that the FSS has been fined CHF20,000 (£17,500/$21,300/€20,200).

Kosovo declared independence in 2008 but this is still disputed by Serbia.

UEFA prohibits Kosovo from being drawn against Serbia in its competitions because of tensions between the two and both the Kosovo Olympic Committee and the Football Federation of Kosovo registered complaints about the banner.

Kosovar authorities said it was a "message of conflict and aggression".

The Kosovo flag was absent from the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade this year - even extending to the World Athletics website - while Kosovar boxers were prevented entry to Serbia before the 2021 Men's World Boxing Championships.

The FSS also faces punishment because of events during Serbia's final World Cup match versus Switzerland, a team containing numerous players of ethnic Albanian heritage who are refugees from Kosovo.

The FSS has been charged with breaking three articles of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, relating to discrimination, order and security plus the conduct of players and officials.

Sanctions are yet to be levied for that.

Also fined by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for a banner displayed by fans was the Croatian Football Federation (HNS).

The HNS has been order to pay CHF50,000 (£43,500/$53,000/€50,500) after fans targeted Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan because of his Serbian heritage.

Croatian supporters altered John Deere marketing material in a reference to ethnic Serbs leaving Croatia on tractors during the Yugoslav Wars.

Brojan's family fled a Serb region of what is now Croatia when he was eight.

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has also been fined by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee - twice CHF15,000 (£13,000/$16,000/€15,200).

Saudi players earned six yellow cards against both Argentina and Mexico, leading to the two fines which total more than the FSS was fined for the offensive banner about Kosovo being displayed in its dressing room.
