The Finnish Football Federation said there will be no formal investigation by UEFA into alleged racist abuse directed at Glen Kamara.
In a statement, the Finland FA said the Rangers midfielder did not want to lodge an official complaint with UEFA after it was alleged an unnamed Montenegro player targeted with him with racial abuse during Monday night's Nations League match.
UEFA confirmed to Sky Sports News that no racist incident has been reported to the governing body in relation to the match.
A statement from the Finnish FA said: "Our team management and the players told the referee appointed by UEFA and the match delegate their views on the incident of racism in the match against Montenegro immediately after the match.
"In the same context, the referee and the match delegate informed the Finnish team management that the matter was known to them and taken into account, which calmed down the situation that had aroused strong emotions after the game.
"However, in the discussions held between us and UEFA on Tuesday, it has become clear that the match delegate's report will not ultimately lead to an investigation.
In March this year Kamara told Sky Sports Newsthat he still receives racist abuse on social mediaafter the Ondrej Kudela incident last year.
The Finland international claimed he was racially abused by Kudela late in Rangers' Europa League match versus Slavia Prague in March 2021.
Kudela - who was handed a 10-game ban by UEFA for "racist behaviour" - has always denied the claims.
