FIFA drops Manchester City racism claim

FIFA has announced that it will not be taking action against Croatian side HNK Rijeka after dropping an allegation of racism from Manchester City.

City claimed in July that French midfielder Seko Fofana was subjected to racial abuse during an Under-21 friendly.

Development coach Patrick Vieira took his side off the pitch following the alleged incident, while Rijeka said after the match that the allegation was unfounded.

"There were not enough elements to justify the opening of disciplinary proceedings," FIFA said in a statement. "The chairman of the FIFA disciplinary committee was pleased to observe that Davor Suker, the Croatian Football Federation president, and Patrick Vieira engaged positively to work through the issue."

Fofana, 19, joined Manchester City from Lorient in 2013.
