FIFA have fined the Croatian Football Federation £14,920 over the racist behaviour of some of their fans during the World Cup qualifier against England earlier this month.

England striker Emile Heskey was singled out by sections of the crowd at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb as Fabio Capello's side won 4-1 on September 10.

The Football Association lodged an official complaint with FIFA and world football's governing body have now issued the fine of €30,000.

A statement from FIFA said: "Racism has no place in football.

"FIFA is determined to continue broadcasting this message around the globe and deploying all of the means at its disposal to eliminate this form of discrimination."

The Croatia federation was punished in June for fans' racism at the European Championship.

They were fined 20,000 Swiss francs (€12,570) after European governing body UEFA ruled they showed racist conduct towards Turkey supporters in the Euro 2008 quarter-final.
