Ex-Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng will meet with FIFA President Sepp Blatter this month to discuss ways of dealing with racism in football.

FIFA says the AC Milan player is scheduled to visit Blatter in Zurich on March 22.

Boateng made the headlines in January when he led Milan teammates off the field to protest against racial abuse from fans of a fourth-tier Italian team during an exhibition game.

The FIFA president praised Boateng for making a ''strong and courageous stand.''
