PRINCE William has slammed racial abuse and threats aimed at kids playing in a junior football club.
The royal, who is president of the FA, said he is deeply concerned and those involved must be held accountable.
Alpha United Juniors first spoke out in November about the abuse.
They said kids as young as seven had been targeted.
And some have even suffered threats of violence.
Prince William has written a letter to the club in Bradford, West Yorks, saying he has contacted the FA about the claims.
He wrote: "Racism and abuse have no place in our society. Abhorrent behavior of this nature must stop now."
Mohammed Waheed, who founded the award-winning club 10 years ago, told the Mirror that a player was called the n-word only yesterday.
