While the Swiss team feared that FIFA would open disciplinary proceedings against Granit Xhaka after the incidents that marred the match against Serbia, it will not. On the contrary, it is Serbia that sees itself in the crosshairs of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
Switzerland can breathe. A day before his 8th final against Portugal, Granit Xhaka is not the subject of an investigation by FIFA. On the other hand, a disciplinary procedure is opened against Serbia.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee specifies that the opening of the procedure against Serbia would concern a potential violation of 3 points of the regulations: the conduct of players and officials (article 12), acts of discrimination (article 13) and disturbing public order and security during the match (article 16).
