The FA are fuming with FIFA after being fined £16,000 for a young England player drinking a non-sponsored energy drink.

A row is brewing with FA chiefs “very unhappy” and chairman Greg Clarke set to complain directly to world football’s governing body over the bizarre punishment.

The fine is only £6,000 less than Russia's £22,000 fine last month for their fans’ racial abuse of France’s black players during a friendly in March.

It has once again raised fears that FIFA do not take racism seriously with the World Cup just over a week away.

The non-sponsored drink at the centre of the England controversy was a can of Red Bull.

A shot of the energy drink was spotted in the Three Lions dug-out during the Under-20 World Cup Finals in Korea last year.

FIFA’s official energy drink is Powerade via their partnership with Coca Cola.

England were charged during the tournament and fined afterwards.

But news of the FA's anger has emerged because of the anger at last month's FIFA judgment on Russia.

The World Cup host nation's fine came after supporters were heard directing monkey chants towards French players including Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante on more than one occasion in the 3-1 win for France in Saint Petersburg.

FIFA at the time insisted they were being tough on discrimination adding: “Fifa has a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination and has been implementing a series of measures to fight discrimination and promote diversity.”
