FIFA dismisses Brewster racism complaint from U-17 World Cup final

An investigation into alleged racial discrimination of in the Under-17 World Cup final has been dropped

FIFA has dismissed a claim made by Rhian Brewster that team-mate Morgan Gibbs-White was racially abused by a Spanish player during the Under-17 World Cup final.

Brewster claimed in an interview with The Guardian in December that Wolves youngster Gibbs-White was subjected to a discriminatory comment by an opponent in England's 5-2 win in Kolkata.

An investigation was opened in January but FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has dismissed all charges, citing "a lack of sufficient evidence that could corroborate the English player's claim".
