Malmö FF has filed a police report on incitement to racial hatred since players were subjected to racist insults in connection with Wednesday's Allsvenskan away match against Hammarby (0–2) in Stockholm.

It was after the match, when a group of MFF players were on the pitch at Tele2 Arena, that they allegedly received the insults.

"Malmö FF views all forms of racism extremely seriously, it violates both Swedish law and Malmö FF's values and is something we actively work to eliminate from both our football stands and our society", the club writes on its website.
