FA funds police unit to catch those who abuse England players on social media
Unit will pay for prosecutions of online abusers‘We are doing things differently,’ says Mark Bullingham
The Football Association has funded a special unit within the British police to help them prosecute anyone who abuses England’s players on social media. The governing body has long been committed to passing on the evidence of such instances to the authorities and there has sadly been too much of it.
But as England prepare for their opening Euro 2024 tie against Serbia on Sunday night, the FA’s chief executive, Mark Bullingham, revealed a new move.
