San Diego FC will have increased security at Saturday’s home match after a homophobic slur was chanted during the club’s Snapdragon Stadium opener earlier this month.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego FC will use pre-match and in-stadium messaging, enhanced security measures and strong enforcement of policies to discourage fans from engaging in what it called “discriminatory chants” at home matches, the team announced Thursday.

After a homophobic slur was chanted by some fans at San Diego FC's inaugural home opener, the club announced Thursday it would implement increased security and eject fans who make "discriminatory goal kick chants" during matches.
