England captain Terry has strenuously denied racially abusing Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand, younger brother of his long-time international team mate Rio, in Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at Loftus Road on Sunday.
The FA said on Tuesday it would look into the allegations, on the same day it also charged Chelsea with failing to control their players during the match.
"I welcome the FA enquiry and look forward to clearing my name as soon as possible," Terry said in a statement.
"The FA takes seriously any allegations of discrimination and abuse of this type," it said in a statement which made no mention of either player.
Terry was quick to deny the allegations after Sunday's match. He released a statement that evening saying the incident was a "misunderstanding."
"Anton was present in our dressing room. For us it was the end of the story and it still is," the Chelsea manager said.
"It's just a misunderstanding and something blown out of all proportion. People who represent this country should have better and fuller support."
"As a club we will provide our players with our unequivocal support when alleged incidents like this occur," chairman Tony Fernandes said.
The behaviour of Chelsea players following Bosingwa's dismissal, however, has landed the club in further hot water with the FA.
The governing body said on Tuesday it was charging the club with "failure to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" after they surrounded the referee following the first red card.
