Tougher sanctions for racism are set to be brought in to European football after a meeting of the game's stakeholders.
The Professional Football Strategy Council,
(PFSC) an umbrella group comprising UEFA associations, European
leagues, clubs and players' representatives, unanimously agreed to call
for stricter sanctions at a meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria.Clubs
and associations whose fans or players are found guilty of racist
behaviour will also have to prove what actions they are taking to tackle
such discrimination in the future.A statement by the PFSC read:
"Recognises that many countries have taken significant and successful
action but that such incidents remain widespread on our continent.
"Calls on UEFA, national associations and leagues to legislate for stricter sanctions for racism.
"Calls
on disciplinary bodies to apply such stricter sanctions for cases of
proven racism and to seek ways of obliging those sanctioned to take
future preventative action."
