Fifa study of Euros & Afcon finds half of all players abused online; Saka & Rashford most targeted
Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford were racially abused on social media after missing penalties in the final of the Euro 2020
BBC Sport understands that England's Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, who both missed their spot-kicks in the shootout defeat by Italy, were the players who suffered the most abuse during the Euro 2020 final. The report found that most of the abuse during the two periods in question came from the players' home countries.
In response, Fifa and Fifpro are to launch a dedicated 'in-tournament moderation service' that will scan recognised hate speech terms published to identified social media accounts.
