Foreign footballers arriving in Britain to play in the Premier League may have to take cultural lessons as part of a series of measures to try to stamp out race-related offences in the game.
More than 60 per cent of players in the English top flight - and around 20 per cent of players in the football league - are foreign, although the number is falling year on year.
Controversy: Liverpool's Luis Suarez (left) received eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra
These lessons on the ‘British cultural environment’, which essentially offer foreign players a crash course on life in England, form a key part of a new Government proposal.
It is a response to Prime Minister David Cameron’s demands for tougher action to tackle discrimination in football at an anti-racism summit back in February.
According to the BBC, the giant document ‘English Football’s Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Action Plan’ - which contains 93 points - will also recommend that clubs bring in mandatory anti-discrimination clause in all players’ and managers’ contracts.
Premier League football has been blighted by a run of embarrassing high-profile cases. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was banned for eight games by the FA for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
Fall out: Ref Mark Clattenburg was falsely accused by Chelsea's John Obi Mikel
The case revolved around the semantic ambiguity of the word ‘negrito’. It is a term widely used in Suarez’s native Uruguay but the FA dismissed the argument claiming Suarez should and would have known better.
More recently, former England captain John Terry was banned for four matches for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, Chelsea falsely alleged that referee Mark Clattenburg had racially abused John Mikel Obi, Norwich defender Sebastien Bassong accused Swansea City supporters of making racist gestures towards him and Manchester police are investigating alleged racist abuse during the Manchester derby.
The Government are hoping to make an announcement before the end of the year, but any new protocol would not come into effect until next season.
