💨 Abstract

Jess Carter, an England defender, has been subject to significant online racist abuse during Euro 2025, leading her to step back from social media. The Football Association and FIFA are working with authorities to identify and prosecute the perpetrators. Carter and the Lionesses squad decided to stop taking a knee before matches, seeking alternative ways to combat racism. Manager Sarina Wiegman expressed support for Carter, who is expected to start against Italy in the semi-final.
