A case can only be included as low level in these instance where abusive language is not present:
In the event of any breach of Rule E 3(1) including a reference to any one or more of the following: ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, faith, gender, sexual
orientation or disability (an “aggravating factor”) (resulting in an E3(2) charge), a Commission shall follow the guidelines as outlined below. In all
cases where an aggravating factor exists, save for those which fall within E3(4), the minimum sanction of 5 matches and £75 fine must be imposed.
For a first offence, the minimum is a 5 match suspension which will be increased if aggravating factors are present, a £75 fine and FA Education course must be imposed by the Disciplinary Commission.
For a second offence, a suspension of more than five matches with an entry point of 10 matches, a £150 fine and an FA Education course must be imposed by the Disciplinary Commission.
Any further such offence(s) shall give rise to consideration of a permanent suspension.
Disciplinary Commissions must also give consideration to FA Rules E3(5) and E3(6) when considering sanctions on youth players. Disciplinary Commissions will consider ground bans for
non-playing participants.
In such circumstances that the offence relates to playing whilst under suspension, the sanction imposed must be in addition to the number of matches the player participated in whilst under suspension.
