FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called for football to find "stronger and more effective ways to eradicate racism" in a statement released Tuesday after England players were subjected to abuse in Bulgaria on Monday.
England won the 2020 UEFA European Championship qualifier in Sofia 6-0, but the game was marred by racist behaviour from home supporters directed at the visitors.
The abuse caused the game to be halted twice in the first half, and a stadium announcement warned fans the game could be abandoned.
