Chants of a "possible discriminatory" nature by England fans during their World Cup semi-final defeat by Croatia, are being investigated by Fifa.
It relates to the chanting of "no surrender" by England fans and other potentially discriminatory songs.
"We can confirm that a report has been filed in relation to chants of a possible discriminatory nature by English fans," said Fifa.
"Proceedings have been opened against The Football Association."
On Wednesday the FA was fined 70,000 Swiss francs (£50,000) after Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Raheem Sterling wore "unauthorised" socks after ignoring a Fifa warning to stop.
The players wore branded ankle support socks over official Nike socks, "breaching media and marketing regulations and the Fifa equipment regulations".
