Millwall FC has been charged by the Football Association following alleged racist chanting.
The chants happened during Millwall’s FA Cup win against Everton in January.
The FA says Millwall breached rule E20 of their code of conduct.
“It is alleged the club failed to ensure its spectators conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using abusive and/or insulting words, which included a reference to race and/or ethnic origin, during the Emirates FA Cup tie against Everton on 26 January 2019,” a statement read.
Fans allegedly used defamatory language to describe the Pakistani community during the match.
Millwall says they will impose a lifetime ban on those using racist abuse.
Police came onto the pitch at the final whistle of the FA Cup tie between Millwall and Everton, which the home side won 3-2.
