Section 3 of the Football (Offences) Act 1991 makes it an offence to participate in indecent or racialist chanting at a designated football match. A "racialist" (racist) chant involves threatening, abusive, or insulting content based on colour, race, nationality, or ethnic/national origins. While this Act targets a specific form of football-related hate crime, other laws like the Public Order Act 1986 can also apply, allowing for charges as racially aggravated offences and the imposition of Football Banning Orders for those convicted.
