Almost 20,000 abusive social media posts were aimed at players, coaches and officials during last year’s World Cup, says a FIFA report.
Of 20 million posts scanned by moderation software developed by FIFA and players’ union Fifpro, 286,895 were hidden from public view.
The biggest spike in abuse came after England’s quarter-final loss to France, when Harry Kane missed a late penalty.
“The figures and findings in this report do not come as a surprise, but they are still massively concerning,” said Fifpro president David Aganzo.
