British PM Boris Johnson Slams "Disgraceful" Racist Abuse Of England Players In Hungary

2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier: British PM Boris Johnson stated that it was "completely unacceptable" that England players were racially abused during their match against Hungary.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called on world soccer's governing body FIFA on Friday to take action over what he called "disgraceful" racist abuse aimed at England players by Hungary fans during a World Cup qualifier. British broadcasters reported that England players were targeted with racial abuse by some Hungary supporters during Thursday's World Cup qualifier in Budapest that England won 4-0. "It is completely unacceptable that England players were racially abused in Hungary last night," Johnson said on Twitter. He urged FIFA to take "strong action against those responsible to ensure that this kind of disgraceful behaviour is eradicated from the game for good." ITV and Sky Sports said their reporters heard monkey chants being aimed at England forward Raheem Sterling and substitute Jude Bellingham. England manager Gareth Southgate and several of the team's players said they did not hear the reported abuse.
