Bradford City and West Yorkshire Police are investigating reports of alleged racist abuse towards local residents outside Valley Parade on Saturday.
Already relegated from League One, the Bantams drew 0-0 with AFC Wimbledon, who narrowly avoided the drop themselves, in their final game of the season.
The club say "staff will visit the families affected over the coming days" and "those involved can expect to face serious punishment and a lifetime ban from attending Bradford City fixtures".
Bradford's head of media Ryan Sparks said: "In conjunction with West Yorkshire Police we have launched a full investigation after receiving reports of racist abuse directed towards local residents, who live nearby the Northern Commercials Stadium on Saturday.
"Racism has no place in society and we condemn any kind of hatred.
"The club treats all forms of discrimination with the utmost seriousness and we will be working with the authorities to identify those believed to be responsible of the alleged offence.
"Club staff will visit the families affected over the coming days and we will be assisting West Yorkshire Police with their enquiries.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank supporters and other eye witnesses who have come forward with information in relation to this incident.
"Those involved can expect to face serious punishment and a lifetime ban from attending Bradford City fixtures."
