Following reports of racist abuse, England Under-17s’ 2-1 friendly victory over Venezuela was postponed twice.
While the referee handled the incidents, the players left the Duisburg, Germany, pitch during the second half.
Although it’s not known which opposition team player the abuse was directed at, BBC Sport has been informed that it was allegedly committed by one or more of the players.
As they left, England manager Liam Bramley offered a consolation to his players.
“We are presently negotiating next steps with the organizers of the tournament and the relevant authorities.”
England came out of a draw with a win thanks to Brian Madjo of Metz and Ryan Kavuma-McQueen of Chelsea.
