FIFA has fined the German Football Association (DFB) CHF32,000 (£25,000/$33,000/€28,000) after Nazi slogans were heard from sections of their support during a World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic in Prague last month.

World football's governing body imposed the sanction on the DFB for "improper conduct among its own group of spectators", which included discriminatory chants, letting off flares and throwing objects.

Around 200 fans were involved in the singing of Nazi songs, while striker Timo Werner was also subjected to verbal abuse from his own supporters.

The incidents marred the match in the Czech capital, which the visitors won 2-1, and enraged Germany manager Joachim Low after the game.

Low claimed he was "full of rage" as a result of the actions of some of the supporters, describing them as "so-called fans" and insisting they were not welcome at future matches.

The Czech Republic were also fined due to the conduct of their fans as FIFA ordered them to pay CHF5,000 (£3,800/$5,000/€4,400) for crowd trouble.

The punishments were announced amid the latest raft of sanctions from FIFA from the previous month's qualifiers for next year's World Cup in Russia.

Iran were fined CHF45,000 (£35,000/$46,000/€39,000) for a "pre-match ceremony which included religious chants" in their 2-2 draw with Syria.

FIFA ordered Argentina to pay a total of CHF65,000 (£50,000/$67,000/€57,000) for two charges of homophobic chanting from their supporters during matches against Uruguay and Venezuela.

Uruguay were also sanctioned from the same match for "insulting chants".

They were fined CHF25,000 (£19,000/$26,000/€22,000) and given a warning by FIFA.

Argentina are among seven countries fined for homophobic chanting, along with Panama, Hungary, Chile, Ecuador, Brazil and Mexico.

Ukraine were given a hefty CHF45,000 (£35,000/$46,000/€39,000) fine for discriminatory chants and banners, letting off incendiary devices, a pitch invasion and blocked stairways during their clash with Turkey in Kharkov.
