Online hate crime includes any form of digital harassment, cyberbullying, hate speech, or spreading harmful content that targets players, fans, coaches, or staff.
Just like physical abuse on the pitch, online abuse causes real harm to individuals and can damage the integrity of the beautiful game.
The Impact of Online Abuse
Online hate crime includes digital harassment, cyberbullying, hate speech, racist abuse, threats, and the spread of harmful content targeting players, fans, coaches, and staff across social media and online platforms.
Just like physical abuse on the pitch, online abuse causes real harm - damaging reputations, affecting mental health, and undermining the integrity and spirit of the game. Staying alert and reporting online abuse is essential to protecting individuals and keeping the football community safe, both online and offline.
