The Football Association said it was willing to investigate after a victory for England Women over Australia was followed by allegations that a group of spectators from the British Army shouted sexist abuse during the game . An Army contingent based in Cyprus attended England 's 3-0 win at the low-profile Cyprus Cup tournament in Nicosia on Friday . Two female England supporters who were at the game said the troops targeted Australian defender Servet Uzunlar throughout the match , as well as the Australian team 's substitutes as they took off their tracksuits before entering the field . Australian defender Servet Uzunlar was allegedly the target of sexist abuse throughout the match in Cyprus . Rachel O'Sullivan and Sophie Downey , who cover women 's football for www.girlsontheball.com , said the majority of the alleged abuse was made towards the Australian players and substitutes , whose bench was on the side of the pitch where the soldiers were sitting . Downey said : 'We 've been to lots of games before and we can engage in banter , but this was n't banter - it was constant , gender-specific abuse . 'There were around 50 troops watching the game and a group of around 10 of them were directing constant insults - they were on the side of the Australian dugout so it was more focused on their players . The FA will invesigate allegations that a group from the British Army shouted sexist abuse during the game . 'We were n't sure whether to tweet about it because it 's the Army and we did n't want to offend people - I 'm a very proud English person and I 'm very proud of what the Army do - but I was ashamed of them today . ' O'Sullivan added : 'One Australian player , number six ( Uzunlar ) , they were harassing her over and over and over again , throughout the game . 'They were making horrible comments , shouting at her , whistling - it was uncomfortable to hear . These are teenage girls and they were sexually objectifying them . ' Spectators at the game said the abuse directed at the players was sexually objectifying and horrible . The commander in charge of the troops said he was unaware of the abuse and apologised . An MoD spokeswoman said : 'Behaviour of the kind described is totally unacceptable and is not tolerated in the Armed Forces where abuse , bullying and discrimination have no place . 'We are investigating these claims and if it is found that any UK personnel have fallen below the high standards we expect then appropriate action will be taken . ' Downey and O'Sullivan said they complained to the commander in charge of the contingent at the end of the match and he apologised , saying he had not heard the abuse . The England players said that none of them had heard any of the abuse and would not make a complaint . An FA spokesperson said : 'We 've spoken to the ( England ) players , manager and assistant manager after the game and none of them have said they heard anything during the game worthy of reporting or complaining about . 'They appreciated the British Army 's support and were happy to have photographs taken with the Army boys at the end of the game . ' The FA spokesperson added : 'The FA will investigate all allegations of discriminatory abuse . If anyone did experience any form of discriminatory behaviour we would urge people to report it by calling 0800 085 0508 , emailing reportdiscrimination @ thefa.com or downloading the Kick It Out app from the App store of Google Play .
