The flag in the dressing room of Serbian footballers

FIFA announced on Saturday that it has initiated disciplinary action against the Serbian Football Federation for hanging a flag with political content in relation to Kosovo in the dressing room before playing Brazil on Thursday at the World Cup in Qatar.

The image of the flag with the message "we do not give up" in Serbian became viral on social networks when it was shared by Hajrulla Çeku, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports of Kosovo, writes Reuters.

"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings against the Football Federation of Serbia due to a flag displayed in their dressing room on the occasion of the Brazil-Serbia match," it said in a statement.

Proceedings were opened under Article 11 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and Article 4 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Regulations.

Kosovo became a member of UEFA and FIFA in 2016, eight years after the country declared independence.
