The regulatory body of football, FIFA, promised on Friday that it would take “appropriate actions” in reaction to the racist abuse that marred England’s World Cup qualifying triumph in Hungary.

After the game in Budapest, where England triumphed 4-0, home supporters uttered monkey chants at two England players: Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham.

Sterling was also attacked with cups after scoring the opening goal for England on Thursday night.

FIFA’s policies state that those who violate them would be penalized with points deductions, ordered to play behind closed doors, and possibly banned from contests.

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has called on FIFA to take action, and the world football governing body has committed to ensuring its duties.

Boris Johnson said, “First and foremost, FIFA strongly rejects any form of racism and violence and has a very clear zero-tolerance stance for such behavior in football.

“FIFA will take adequate actions as soon as it receives match reports concerning yesterday’s Hungary-England game,” he added.

“It is completely unacceptable that England players were racially abused in Hungary last night.

“I urge FIFA to take strong action against those responsible to ensure that this kind of disgraceful behavior is eradicated from the game for good,” the England prime minister said.

After claims of racist shouting and homophobic flags being displayed during Euro 2020 matches against France and Portugal, European football’s governing body UEFA issued a two-match stadium ban to Hungary in July.

However, because it is a FIFA tournament, the punishment could not be prolonged or carried over into the World Cup qualifier against England.

Robert Buckland, the Justice Secretary, also denounced the very distressing racism directed at England players in his statement.

England’s players were also booed by the Hungary supporters before the game’s start as they took a knee in protest of racism.
