FIFA fined the Israeli Football Association (IFA) 150,000 Swiss francs ($190,700) for multiple breaches of its anti-discrimination obligations.
The disciplinary committee found the IFA failed to take meaningful action against Beitar Jerusalem for persistent and well-documented racist behaviour.
The IFA was ordered to display a banner stating "Football Unites the World -- No to Discrimination" at its next three FIFA competition home matches.
The association will also invest one-third of the fine towards implementing a plan to prevent repeated incidents of discrimination.
