England defender Jess Carter says that he received racist abuses during Euro 2025

England defender Jess Carter said that she was the target of racist abuses since the start of Euro 2025 in Switzerland and announced on Sunday that it was moving away from social media during the tournament.

“While each fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and results, I do not agree or I think it is normal to target the appearance or breed of someone,” Carter published in a long Instagram declaration. “I take this measure to protect myself in order to keep the emphasis on the help of the team I can.

“Hopefully the Word will make people think about writing these abuses so that others will not have to face it.”

The 27-year-old started the four England games at the tournament, and then play in Italy in the semi-finals on Tuesday in Geneva.

“”We have made historical changes with this lioness team of which I am so proud to be part and I hope that by talking about this, it will make another positive change for all. “”

The CEO of FA, Mark Bullingham, condemned abuse.

“”Our priority is Jess and gives her all the support she needs“Said Bullingham in a statement.”We strongly condemn those responsible for this disgusting racism. “”

Bullingham said the FA was in contact with the British police, which is in contact with the relevant social media platform.

“We are working with the police to ensure that the officials of this hatred crime are brought to justice,” he said.

“Unfortunately, this is not the first time that this has happened to a player in England, so we have measures in place to allow us to respond quickly and, if possible, provide information to support any potential police action.”

While the women of England traditionally take a knee before the matches – including their four games so far in Switzerland, as a symbolic gesture against racism – they will not do it on Tuesday.

“”It is clear that we and football must find another way to fight against racism, we agreed as a team to stand before the start on Tuesday“, They said in a press release.

“”We hold on with Jess and all the players past and present who have undergone racism“Said the team.”Representing your country is the greatest honor. It is not just that while we do, some of us are treated differently simply because of the color of our skin. “”

The director of European football UEFA said: “Abuse and discrimination should never be tolerated, whether in football or society, in person or online.

“We are holding with Jess,” said UEFA in a statement.
