Burnley have banned a supporter accused of racially abusing a Bradford player during Saturday's pre-season friendly.
West Yorkshire Police are investigating the incident, which saw the supporter ejected from the Northern Commercials Stadium.
In the meantime the man has been interviewed by Burnley and banned indefinitely, subject to an appeal.
A club statement said: "The supporter will no longer be able to attend any Burnley FC matches, including away games, with immediate effect.
"A second man who voluntarily left the stadium in connection with the incident will face no action.
"An investigation is still ongoing by West Yorkshire Police, but Burnley Football Club would like to thank Bradford City Football Club and West Yorkshire Police for their assistance in this matter.
"In closing, the club would like to reiterate that we have a zero tolerance approach to any such behaviour and strongly condemn discrimination of any type."
