Football Notes: CAS Rules FIFA Wrong To Fine Mexico For Fan Chants

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that "FIFA was wrong" to fine Mexico's football federation for fans chanting gay slurs at opposing goalkeepers at World Cup qualifying games. CAS said that although the chants are "insulting words," FIFA helped create a "wrong -- but legitimate -- understanding" that cases would not be punished (AP, 11/16).

Wales national women's football team Manager Jayne Ludlow said that the controversy surrounding Mark Sampson's dismissal as England women's manager has "detracted from the team's achievements and the women's game." Wales will play England in April in a 2019 World Cup qualifier (BBC, 11/16).

Qatar set a temporary minimum wage for migrant workers "worth around $200 a month," its labor minister said Thursday, a "benchmark reform following widespread criticism" of Doha's preparations for the 2022 World Cup. Issa al-Nuaimi said that the "temporary minimum wage of 750 riyals ($195) per month will immediately come into effect," while officials work on setting a permanent rate. He added that laborers will also receive free accommodation, food and healthcare plans covered by employers (AFP, 11/16).
