"Once again, the club strongly emphasises that the chant in question goes against everything the club stands for and is wholeheartedly condemned. The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of discriminatory abuse; such behaviour has no place in society. Any individual identified as engaging in such abuse will be banned."
"Millwall have now been charged with breaching FA Rules E21.1 and E21.4 five times, according to an FA statement. Due to previous breaches in October 2023, for abuse with express or implied reference to religion towards then Wigan player James McClean, and another last June for homophobic chants directed towards Crystal Palace full-back Ben Chilwell, the club had an action planned imposed upon them by the FA."
Millwall has been charged by the Football Association for failing to ensure proper supporter conduct during their Championship match against Charlton Athletic on 24 January. The charges allege discriminatory behavior referencing disability and sexual orientation. This follows a £45,000 fine imposed three days earlier for abusive chanting with disability references during a Carabao Cup match at Crystal Palace in September. The club has a history of similar breaches, including incidents in October 2023 and June involving religious and homophobic abuse. An FA action plan previously imposed on Millwall has been extended through the 2026-27 season. The club must respond by 25 March and has stated it maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward discriminatory abuse.
