FOOTBALL AGAINST RACISM CAMPAIGN

That this House congratulates the German hosts for organising such an excellent tournament; recognises the efforts made by the World Cup hosts to tackle racism and prejudice; believes that there is no justification for verbal abuse or racism in sport by fans, administrations or players; rejects the idea that such abuse should be used for tactical purposes as entirely unsporting; and hopes that the power of sport will continue to bring different nations, peoples and cultures together.
