FA Charges Preston’s Milutin Osmajic Over Alleged Racial Abuse of Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri

Osmajic denies accusations of making a racist comment during a February Championship match, with the FA setting a March 25 deadline for his response.

The FA has charged Milutin Osmajic with an aggravated breach of Rule E3.2 for allegedly using racially abusive language towards Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri on February 15, 2025.
The alleged incident was reported by Mejbri during the match, leading to a brief stoppage in play as he informed the referee and his manager, Scott Parker.
Preston North End and Osmajic have strongly denied the allegations, with the club stating they will await the outcome before making further comments.
Burnley players demonstrated solidarity with Mejbri by refusing to shake hands with Osmajic during a March FA Cup match between the two teams.
Osmajic has until March 25, 2025, to formally respond to the FA's charge, which includes accusations of improper conduct referencing race or color.
