Game’s governing body to investigate incidents of racial abuse during WC qualifier

After England players faced racial abuse in Hungary, FIFA said on Friday it will take “adequate actions” once it has investigated the incidents. The statement from FIFA stopped short of directly condemning Hungary fans for the abuse, which included monkey chanting, in Thursday’s World Cup qualifier at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. England won 4-0. “FIFA strongly rejects any form of racism and violence and has a very clear zero tolerance stance for such behaviour in football,” football’s governing body said. ”FIFA will take adequate actions as soon as it receives match reports concerning yesterday’s Hungary-England game.”
