Fifa has disbanded its anti-racism task force, declaring the work complete despite ongoing concerns about discriminatory behaviour in Russia, the hosts of the 2018 World Cup.

Fifa has written to members of the task force to say that it has “completely fulfilled its temporary mission” and “is hereby dissolved and no longer in operation.”

“I wish I could say that I am shocked by the decision, but unfortunately I am not,” task force member Osasu Obayiuwana said on Sunday. “The problem of racism in football remains a burning, very serious and topical one, which need continuous attention.

Let's wait and see till the Russia world cup then...

Brilliant, they've solved racism. What should we get them to work on next? Corruption? That's a hot topic.

That one is ongoing. And ongoing. And ongoing.

Although they would like to disband it....

Absolutely ridiculous

I agree that they should be passing the batton on to clubs and individual National Federations but a governing body is required to make sure that clubs and these Federations comply with their policies

I hope we as fans try and ask the FA to boycott Russia World Cup not because they tried to kill our fans not because of it fans racist chants but because they are killing innocent civilians in Syria shooting down airlines over the Ukraine etc. We should start a campaign on line.

Looking at this another way, they have failed to eradicate it and have now decided not to waste more money paying people for several years to pretend that they are solving the problem.

Failing to solve it is bad. Failing to solve it and paying for that failure is worse.

Do Zenit have a policy of not contracting black players ? Sure I read something in reputable media a while back.
