NEW DELHI: FIFA president Gianni Infantino offered support to England women's defender Jess Carter, who has been targeted with racist abuse during Euro 2025, saying the global body for the sport "shared data for appropriate action to be taken against any perpetrators".
Carter, who has played for England since 2017 and was part of the team that won the Euro in 2022, earlier said that she is stepping away from social media for the duration of the tournament.
"From the start of the tournament, I have experienced a lot of racial abuse... I don't agree, or think, it's OK to target someone's appearance or race. As a result of this, I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with, " she had said.
