FAI investigates schoolboys soccer racism dispute

The FAI has launched its own investigation into why a schoolboys soccer club was fined €200 after the manager of one of its underage teams took a stance against racism.

The governing body of Irish soccer confirmed last night that it has written to the Cork Schoolboys League asking for a full report on the incident involving Carrigaline Utd in Co Cork.

However, it is understood that the FAI does not have the power to overrule the fine.
