FA Statement
Wednesday, 17 November 2004.
The FA can confirm that it will be writing to FIFA and UEFA following the racist abuse suffered by England players during the Under 21 International between Spain and England last night.
The FA will always report incidents of this nature. The match took place under FIFA's jurisdiction and UEFA are coordinating the campaign against racism in European football.
The FA Chairman, Geoff Thompson, will also be speaking with the President of the Spanish Football Federation at this evening's Senior International, to express his disappointment at the behaviour of some of the fans.
