Yon de Luisa disputes reports stating Women’s National Team would play closed-door matches

Mexican Fútbol Federation (FMF) President Yon de Luisa went on México’s W Radio earlier today to clarify reports from CANCHA that the FMF was considering having the Women’s National Team serve a two-match penalty for the use of el grito homófobo during Men’s National Team matches. Speaking with hosts Gabriela Warkentin and Javier Risco, de Luisa said that FIFA had not specified whether the Men’s National Team will serve the suspension.

“It’s not like that,” de Luisa stated when asked if the reports were true and the Women’s National Team would serve the suspension.
