ZURICH (AP) — England defender Jess Carter says she has been subject to racial abuse online at the Women’s European Championship. Carter came in for a lot of criticism for her performance during England’s opening loss to France. And some of that has crossed the line even as the 27-year-old and the Lionesses have reached the semifinals at Euro 2025.

Sarina Wiegman says the decision to leave Jess Carter out England’s starting XI for the side’s Women’s Euro 2025 semi-final with Italy was purely ‘tactical’.

My hope is that by speaking out about this, it will make another positive change for all,” wrote a somber Jess Carter while addressing the online racial abuse she has been facing since the beginning of the UEFA Euro 2025.

The intervention follows England defender Jess Carter ’s decision to step back from social media after revealing she had received "a lot of racial abuse" during the tournament in Switzerland, a matter the Football Association has referred to the police.

Carter's dad Chris Carter publicly expressed how proud he was of his daughter after her impressive debut at 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. He took to Facebook after England lost 1-0 to Spain in the final, where Chris wrote emotional words about Jess’s time on the pitch.
