A Queens Park Rangers youth team abandoned a friendly match in Spain after players said they experienced racist abuse from the opposing players.
Per the club's official website, the under-18 side faced AD Nervion FC on Aug. 8 as part of a pre-season tour of Seville. A QPR player informed coach Paul Furlong they were being racially abused, and Furlong told his players to leave the pitch.
Club CEO Lee Hoos backed the coach and players for their decision and said he believes clubs would not be able to get away with such behaviour in England:
"We take a very strong stance against racism and will not tolerate one of our players being subjected to the despicable comments experienced.
