Yaya Toure has expressed his disappointment with FIFA's decision to disband its anti-racism task force.

The FIFA Task Force Against Racism and Discrimination was set up in 2013 and wound up on Sunday, with the world governing body saying it had achieved its mission.

Toure, who was a consultant to the task force, referenced the World Cup in 2018 in Russia, where there has been a history of players receiving racist abuse, and said the letter he received from FIFA 'does not fill me with confidence'.
