Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun suffered racial abuse during the club’s friendly against a Malaysia XI on Thursday.
The crowd, which was announced at around 85,000 for the pre-season match, booed the former Liverpool star every time he touched the ball because he is Israeli.
Malaysia is a majority Muslim country which backs Palestine in its ongoing dispute with Israel and has no diplomatic ties with the Jewish state.
Chelsea went on to win the match 1-0 thanks to a controversial Didier Drogba strike late on.
