The Qatar Football Association has denied the player at the centre of yesterday's abandoned game against the All Whites used a racial slur.

The All Whites didn't return to the field for the second half of the game after claiming defender Michael Boxall was the victim of a "significant" racist comment from a Qatari player.

Qatar Football Association have hit back and raised their own concerns about racism.
