Uefa will not investigate alleged racist abuse of Ireland's Adam Idah by Israeli fans because proper reporting protocols were not followed

Uefa has declined to investigate an allegation of racist abuse aimed at Republic of Ireland forward Adam Idah by Israeli fans during a Nations League match in Serbia. The FAI was told that because no clear allegation was reported during the game, protocols were not followed. The FAI is now reviewing video and audio evidence to build a case for Uefa to investigate. The match, which Ireland won 3-0, was played behind closed doors due to protests. Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu refused to play against Israel but will return for the match against Austria.
