English FA Funds Police Unit to Tackle Online Abuse of Players

The Football Association allocates £25,000 to support police in prosecuting social media abusers ahead of Euro 2024.

Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho were racially abused online after the 2021 Euro final.
The FA's new initiative involves direct funding to a dedicated police unit for prosecuting offenders.
Previously, the FA only provided evidence packs to the police for potential prosecution.
The funding amount may vary based on the number of prosecutions.
England's Euro 2024 campaign begins with a match against Serbia.
