FACR then apologized to supporters and said the players would not receive a financial bonus for the match.
Instead, the money will be donated to charity. Meanwhile, West Ham United player, Soucek, will lose his captain position for the next team game.
"The fans have full rights to express their disapproval of unsatisfactory performances in recent matches."
"The players' reactions should be the opposite. They should be grateful to the active supporters," FACR said in a statement.
In the match against Gibraltar, supporters repeatedly shouted 'fight for the Czechs'.
Rep. The Czechs had difficulties in qualifying and sacked coach Ivan Hasek following an embarrassing 1-2 defeat to the Faroe Islands last month.
Hasek's assistant, Jaroslav Kostl, led the team to a 1-0 win over San Marino in a friendly and against Gibraltar.
The new coach is likely to be appointed for the 2026 World Cup Qualification playoffs. They will meet the Republic of Ireland to fight for the remaining four tickets to the 2026 World Cup from the European zone.
The Czech Republic last qualified for the World Cup in 2006.
