Roman Abramovich is taking steps to combat Anti-Semitism in English football.

The Russian owner of Chelsea Football Club is partnering with the World Jewish Congress in a bid to tackle the issue in the coming years.

Chelsea will work on a total of three projects that are meant to help players, fans and government officials take the threat of anti-Semitism more seriously.

The competition is intended to give ideas to Chelsea about how football can attempt to end this type of bigotry.

Chelsea are also going to release a set of videos they produce with the World Jewish Congress, which will be displayed on social media and before matches.

Abramovich released a short quote on the partnership and said: "Since we launched Chelsea's anti-Semitism initiative, I have been very pleased with the positive response from our supporters and from the community as such.

"This partnership is the next step to increase our efforts and I am proud to be partnering with the World Jewish Congress, whose leadership and expertise in these issues are truly remarkable.

"I hope that our joint efforts will make a difference in combating anti-Semitism in the UK and elsewhere."

WJC president Ronald Lauder released a statement which said: "The World Jewish Congress is proud to partner with Chelsea FC and its owner Roman Abramovich in this critical endeavour to pull a red card on the demonstrations of hatred, antisemitism and threats of violence running rampant in sports stadiums across the world."
