It's been going on for ages.  I believe FIFA is going to start having empty stadium matches if it happens next year, I think they even threatened to relegate teams whose fans get out of hand.  There are some sanctions for doing it in the world cup, I forget what they are.  I think the team loses a point or something like that.
