"A Football Association (FA) inquiry is under way after concerns over crowd chants at a Portsmouth v Reading game were raised by the referee.
Reading winger Nick Blackman spoke to officials following the incident at Fratton Park on Tuesday.
Hampshire police said it concerned "chanting believed to be directed towards a player from Reading".
The club said it was helping the FA with its inquiries over the League Cup second round clash, won by Reading 2-1.
The FA said it took all allegations "very seriously" but would not specify the nature of the incident.
During a break in play just before half-time, Blackman was seen pointing towards a corner of the ground.
Hampshire Constabulary has a zero tolerance approach towards verbal abuse which could be seen as racist or homophobic in these circumstances, however no individual was identified."
