The chant was “puto” — a Spanish slur that Mexico fans have used at opposing goalkeepers during goal kicks, and it has been widely condemned as homophobic.

Quick context

It became infamous in international soccer because it was heard repeatedly at Mexico matches and led to FIFA fines and sanctions over the years.

Why it matters

  • It is treated as discriminatory abuse by FIFA and other organizers.
  • Mexican soccer officials have run campaigns to stop it, but it has persisted in stadiums.
  • Recent coverage in 2026 says it was heard again during Mexico’s World Cup matches.

The short answer for your post is: the anti-gay chant was “puto.”
