The Football Association (FA) has imposed a fine of £100,000 on Wolverhampton Wanderers following incidents of homophobic chanting by their fans during a game against Chelsea in April.

The chanting occurred in the 61st and 71st minutes and involved a large number of supporters for approximately 20 seconds each time.

During the match, fans were informed via the PA system that discriminatory behavior and chants would not be tolerated. Three arrests were made in connection with the alleged homophobic chanting.

The FA stated that an independent regulatory commission found Wolverhampton Wanderers guilty of two breaches of FA Rule E21 and subsequently imposed an action plan and a fine of £100,000.

The club admitted the charges, which included failing to ensure that their fans conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and refrain from using words or engaging in behavior that is improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting with regard to sexual orientation.

Recently, a Fulham supporter received a three-year ban from football after admitting to a public order offense related to homophobic chanting during a match against Chelsea in February.

Homophobic chants targeting Chelsea players and supporters have been an ongoing issue.

Last year, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) classified the chant as a homophobic slur and stated that fans singing it during matches could be committing a hate crime.

In January, the FA issued a notice to clubs, warning that disciplinary action could be taken against clubs if their fans engaged in discriminatory behavior, including the homophobic chant.
