UEFA fine FAI after fans boo God Save The King at the Aviva Stadium

The FA have also been fined after England fans booed Amhrán na bhFiann.

England’s FA received a higher penalty of €12,500 due to repeated instances of English fans disrespecting national anthems, including the booing of Amhrán na bhFiann at the same match.

The FAI also faces additional fines of €9,250 for flare use and €6,000 after a spectator entered the pitch.

The booing stirred controversy. Tánaiste Micheál Martin expressed disappointment, stating that visitors’ anthems should be respected, but he noted most fans behaved respectfully and praised the overall atmosphere at the Aviva.

England won the match 2-0 thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish - two former Ireland internationals.

Ireland will face England again on 17 November at Wembley, following a home match against Finland.
