A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of malicious communications in relation to some of the racist and abusive messages sent to England defender Jess Carter during Euro 2025.
The 27-year-old defender revealed during the tournament that she had been subject to racist slurs on her social media accounts since the tournament began.
The FA contacted UK police when they were informed of the abuse Carter has been subjected to, and the un-named man from Great Harwood in Lancashire has since been apprehended. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
