At that time The FA stated very clearly that it was ultimately FIFA’s responsibility to determine what disciplinary action should be taken.

The FA must accept FIFA’s decision to fine the Spanish FA 100,000 Swiss Francs.

The FA is firmly committed to fighting racism in football at all levels of the game. We will continue to adopt a zero tolerance approach to any racist behaviour in English football and whenever any of our teams play abroad.

Racism is the scourge of the game and it is the responsibility of all who care about football to do everything within their power to eradicate it.
