Russia is planning an international anti-racism summit this year to address the problem before hosting the 2018 World Cup.
The conference follows a report which detailed more than 200
cases of discriminatory behaviour in Russian football in the past two
seasons.
Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said the event would be held jointly
with UK-based campaign group the FARE network, who co-wrote the report.
But
Piara Powar, the head of FARE, insisted it had yet to confirm its
participation after an approach from the Russian Football Union.
Powar said Russia was "free to do an event," but that talk of a partnership with FARE was "very premature."
