World football governing body has called on stakeholders of the football world to tolerate one another and keep the space safe for everyone.
The football house said it has reported more than 30,000 abusive posts to social media platforms this year.
It added in a report that 11 people were reported to law enforcement authorities in 2025 and one case was submitted to Interpol.
The individuals were said to be in Argentina, Brazil, France, Poland, Spain, the UK and the US, and had been identified.
“On the International Day for Tolerance, I want to make it abundantly clear that football must be a safe and inclusive space – on the pitch, in the stands and online,” said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
“Through the Fifa social media protection service (SMPS) and by deploying advanced technology and human expertise, Fifa is taking decisive action to protect players, coaches, teams, and match officials from the serious harm that online abuse causes.”
Fifa set up the SMPS in 2022 with players’ union Fifpro to monitor, report and block abusive content. The SMPS was also used during the World Club World Cup in the USA last summer.
Infantino added: “Our message is clear: abuse has no place in our game, and we will continue to work with our member associations, the confederations and law enforcement authorities to hold offenders accountable.
“This behaviour has no place in football or in society and Fifa is taking all possible steps by reporting these incidents and also by blacklisting individuals from purchasing tickets for Fifa tournaments.”
Fifa said more than 65,000 abusive posts have been reported to social media platforms since the SMPS was created.
