AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Netherlands captain Georginio Wijnaldum on Thursday called on UEFA to take stronger action against racism and said players subjected to abuse should not have to make a decision on whether to walk off the field in protest or not.

Wijnaldum said he had thought long and hard about leaving the pitch if subjected to racism when the Dutch play at the Puskas Arena in Budapest against the Czech Republic in the Euro 2020 round of 16 on Sunday but was still in two minds.

“After that I started to think very hard about it. ‘Gini, you will play in Hungary later in the tournament, what will you do if it happens? What if you play against a weaker team and those fans know that and they antagonise you to get you to walk off the field so that you lose the match?’" “I think I will I go to the referee but, to be honest, I’m not sure what my reaction is going to be in the heat of the moment.
