Footballers of Switzerland's Granit Jaka, Dzherdan Shakiri and Stefan Lichtsteiner are fined by FIFA.

The organization imposed fines on players for unsportsmanlike conduct during the match against Serbia (2: 1).

Jaka, Shakiri and Lihtsteiner celebrated their goals at the gate of the Serbs, crossing their arms, depicting an eagle - a symbol of freedom of Albania.

Political gestures are prohibited by FIFA and UEFA.

Jaka and Shakiri were fined 10 thousand Swiss francs, Liechtenstein - 5 thousand. All of them received warnings for unsporting behavior during the game.

Earlier it was reported that players are threatened with disqualification, but they avoided it.

Team Switzerland is second in Group E, having the same number of points with Brazil - 4.

On June 27 the Swiss will play with Costa Rica.
