FIFA Chief Gianni Infantino Offers Support To England's Jess Carter After Online Racist Abuse
The Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham had strongly condemned those responsible for racism and said the FA "is in touch with the relevant social media platform and is working with police to ensure those responsible for this hate crime are brought to justice".
Reacting to the matter, FIFA chief said, "I am deeply saddened to see the online abuse directed at England's Jess Carter during the ongoing Women's EURO tournament. There is no place for racism in football or in society."
"We stand with Jess. We stand with every player and every individual who has suffered from racist abuse. No player should be discriminated against in any way, they should be free to be at their very best on the pitch.
"Through FIFA's Social Media Protection Service, we have helped tackle such abuse across multiple tournaments. We will continue to collaborate and support confederations, FIFA Member Associations and their players.
"In this instance, we will be offering our support with any further action required, as well as sharing data for appropriate action to be taken against any perpetrators," Infantino added in a statement.
