abuse
England's Football Association says it is providing funding to help police clamp down on online abuse at Euro 2024.
Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho were subjected to racial abuse on social media after missing penalties in England's shootout defeat to Italy in the final of the last European Championship in 2021.
The FA has stepped up efforts to ensure abusers are brought to justice and said it is providing around 25,000 pounds ($32,000) to help police.
“Now we are doing things differently,” FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said. “In the past what we did was put together all the data, effectively an evidence pack, to give to the police to prosecute, but this time we have gone a stage further where we are actually funding within the British Police a unit that will then prosecute."
