FIFA did not say that the armbands breached its ban on wearing political symbols but the case is another step on the road to sanctions against the two countries.
"We can confirm that disciplinary proceedings have been opened on this matter," a FIFA spokesperson told when asked about action planned after the November 11,2016 match at Wembley.
The players on both squads as well as England's interim manager Gareth Southgate wore the black armbands bearing the poppies at the Wembley game which England won 3-0
England's Football Association has said it will contest any fine and believes its "legal position is right and our moral position is right".
