FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Football Association and Scottish Football Association for the wearing of poppies during last week's World Cup qualifier.
The English and Scottish football associations defied FIFA on Armistice Day -- as players from both teams wore embroidered poppies on black armbands -- after football's world governing body said the act fell under the commercial, personal, political or religious messages that it has banned.
FIFA announced that FA and SFA faced action on Thursday night with both facing the possibility of a fine, while even a World Cup points deduction is possible.
