Sports minister to hold meeting to tackle abuse in football

The "urgent" meeting follows months of alleged racism within the sport

SPORTS MINISTER Mims Davies will hold an "urgent" meeting with football leaders in an attempt to tackle racism and discrimination in the sport, BBC Sport reports.

Numerous football organisations, including The Football Association, Premier League and anti-discrimination group Kick It Out will be invited to the meeting.

"Together we must find a way to tackle this," Davies said. "Those involved in abuse are not football fans.

"They are using football as a cloak for discriminatory, and often criminal, behaviour. They are not welcome in our stadiums."
