Twitter says it will 'continue to take swift action' after revealing they've acted on 'more than 700 examples of hateful conduct' in the last two weeks.
Several Premier League footballers, including Manchester United's Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, have been the subject of racial abuse on the platform following missed penalties.
In a statement, Twitter said the vile content has 'no place on our service' and they want to play their 'part in curbing this unacceptable behaviour.'
Twitter said: 'In the past two weeks, we have taken action on more than 700 examples of abuse and hateful conduct related to UK football.
'We will continue to take swift action on the minority that try to undermine the conversation for the majority.
'In that same time, we have met with the Professional Footballers' Association, Kick It Out and directly affected football clubs, and agreed a number of proactive measures to tackle this issue collectively.'
The social media body also stated it was working with the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) and equality organisation Kick It Out.
'Working with the PFA, we will participate in their player training programme, and will be joining a series of educational sessions with its membership to support the PFA's ambition to tackle the issue.
'Working with Kick It Out, we will continue our working relationship with UK policing to further brief them and provide training on our policies, procedures and dedicated 24/7 reporting channels for law enforcement.
'To be clear, this behaviour does not reflect the vast majority of fans who use Twitter to participate in vibrant conversations around football in the UK. We have spent years forging strong partnerships with clubs, organisations and supporters and deeply value the relationships.'
