Football's world governing body, FIFA, is preparing to weigh in on the racism claims in the All Whites' game against Qatar.

Both nations strongly believe they had a player who was the victim of a racial slur in the abandoned game in Austria on Tuesday. FIFA says football cannot go on when there is discrimination.

This game between New Zealand and Qatar could test what they will do about it. Sports reporter Felicity Reid joined Lisa Owen in studio.
