Fifa slaps Ivory Coast with fine

Abidjan, 22 July-(ANA)-Fifa has fined the Ivorian Football Federation $47,000 following the enquiry into the stadium tragedy where 20 fans died in Abidjan in March.

Football's world governing body imposed a series of safety measures after concluding the long investigation.

Fifa also announced a donation $96,000 to a fund set up for the families of the victims.

The safety measures will be in place for the Elephants' next round of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in September.

The capacity for the match against Burkina Faso on 5 September will be set at 20,000, with a control cordon to be set up at least one kilometre from the stadium. (ANA)
