Last month, Liverpool Football Club received complaints of a tweet showing an image of Muslim fans praying during half-time at Anfield accompanied by comments that were offensive to the complainants.

The club reported the tweet, which was posted online on Sunday March 8, 2015, to Merseyside Police.

Merseyside Police investigated the matter and has referred this to LFC to take appropriate action against the individual involved. The club is currently in the process of determining the appropriate action to take and a further update statement will be made in due course.

Liverpool Football Club would like to remind its supporters that it does not tolerate any form of discrimination and is committed to ensuring that the club and Anfield provides a welcoming and safe environment for all fans regardless of race, religion, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.

If you see, hear or experience any discriminatory abuse or behaviour at Anfield please contact the LFC matchday incident report line on 0800 298 4999. This service is available 24 hours a day seven days a week.
