Hungary are set to escape any sanctions after their fans booed England's players taking the knee on Saturday, according to reports.
As has become customary before each of their matches, the entire England team took a knee prior to kick-off to send out the message that they are against all forms of racism.
On this occasion, their gesture was met by a chorus of boos from the majority of the home crowd in Budapest, but the Hungarian Football Association will not be punished for the conduct of their fans, as reported by iNews.
The match was originally set to be played behind closed doors due to racial slurs being aimed at players in previous matches at the Puskas Arena, including when England last played at the venue in September 2021.
However, Hungary managed to exploit a loophole in UEFA's rules, which allows under 14s to attend matches for free, with every 10 children being accompanied by an adult, meaning that over 35,000 supporters attended the Nations League clash.
Despite the majority of the crowd being young children, Gareth Southgate's side were still booed, and the England boss admitted that he was taken aback by the reaction of the fans inside the stadium.
'I was very surprised,' Southgate said in his post-match press conference.
'I thought that's why we do it, to try to educate. I think young people can only be influenced by older people.
'That felt like inherited thinking to me. And I hear that still in our stadiums as well.
'That's why we do it, that's why we continue to take that stand and we will keep doing that.'
England defender Conor Coady reiterated his manager's stance in the aftermath of the game.
'We heard it. We've spoken about it now enough as a team, we've spoken about it enough as individuals, whether it be at our club, whether it be playing for our country, we've spoken up about it.
'We understand, I hope people understand why we're doing this sort of things now.
'This won't stop us from doing it in the future. It's not something that will stop us,' he said.
Meanwhile, European anti-discrimination group Fare has hit out at UEFA for not being tough enough when enforcing their behind closed doors policy.
'When a closed door sanction has been issued it should be fully applied,' they said.
'This is not the first time in which children have shown the same behaviour patterns as adults in a stadium. We have seen incidents of racism perpetrated in European games by children.'
Anti-racism group Show Racism The Red Card were also angered by Saturday's events, claiming that England's players deserved support rather than jeers for their actions.
'Show Racism the Red Card was disappointed to hear booing by Hungary supporters to the taking of the knee by England players.
'Given the racism suffered by England’s black players last time, you would have hoped the Hungary fans would have applauded this anti-racist stance,' said the group's chief executive Ged Grebby.
