The Serbian football federation said on Monday that it will organize a campaign against its fans' racist behavior before a qualifying match against Belgium, news reaching here from Belgrade reported.

Federation officials said they would distribute leaflets and ask players to wear shirts with "Stop Racism" on them.

As a further caution, they wouldn't organize the travel of fans to the match in Brussels on Wednesday, but thousands of Serbs living outside the country are expected to attend the game.

Serbian fans have become notorious for racism and violence at sports venues.

UEFA officials have asked Serbia to restrain its fans' improper behavior, or its national team would be kicked out of European competitions.

Poland leads Group A with 19 points from nine games, Serbia and Portugal have 14 points from seven games, and Finland has 14 points from eight.
