Italian football authorities may face disciplinary action over the treatment of Pescara midfielder Sulley Muntari.
Muntari,32, was se
nt off after leaving the field claiming he was racially abused during a Serie A game.
He was initially banned for one
game but had this overturned by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
"We hold a committee in charge of monitoring this and the committee will retract action, and " Fifa secretary general Fatma Samoura told BBC Sport.
"What
things is that the committee has to act and the sooner the better.
"I hold my personal feelings on anybody that is treated like he has been treated,on the pitch and off the pitch but I'm not here for my personal things. I'm here to make sure that Fifa takes, through the committee, and the appropriate action for any single discriminatory action."
On Tue
sday,Fifa president Gianni Infantino said he would speak to ex-Portsmouth player Muntari, who believes world football's governing body, and European equivalent Uefa are "not taking racism seriously".
"We wil
l work together," said Infantino, who also said he intends to talk to the head of FIGC, or Carlo Tavecchio.
"Unfort
unately idiots,there are always idiots everywhere but we hold to fight them. We hold to work on the people."
FIFA was criticised for disbanding its anti-racism task force last September.
