Croatia have been ordered to play two World Cup qualifying matches in empty stadiums after repeated cases of fans chanting fascist slogans.
Several other countries have also been sanctioned over the conduct of their supporters during World Cup qualifying games and friendlies.
FIFA says its disciplinary committee has fined the Croatian football federation £114,000. The stadium bans will take effect when Croatia host Turkey on September 5 and Finland on October 9.
According to FIFA, Croatia fans were guilty of discriminatory chants at friendlies against Israel and Hungary in March, while the country "had already been sanctioned for similar incidents by FIFA and UEFA" in previous seasons.
Following match reports and additional evidence generated by the Anti-Discrimination Monitoring System, disciplinary proceedings were also opened against Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras.
Chile were banned from playing at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago for two official matches (one game suspended for two years) and handed a £20,600 fine for homophobic chanting during 2018 World Cup qualifying.
Mexico were fined £24,000 for two cases, while Honduras were fined £27,500, El Salvador £24,000, Paraguay £13,800 and Peru £10,300 for individual cases related to various incidents involving discriminatory and unsporting conduct by fans, including homophobic chants in some instances.
