FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke about the fight against racism in football.
Idman.Biz reports that he announced the measures to be taken in this regard.
"There is no place for racism. We must fight it with all our might. It is already 2026 and we cannot discriminate against anyone because of their origin. Sometimes people say that racism is a social problem. Yes, but in football we have to solve this problem and society will deal with it as it sees fit.
There should be no racism in football and there is no excuse to tolerate it. Zero tolerance. Covering your mouth and saying something unacceptable is unacceptable. If a player covers his mouth and says something racist, he must clearly be sent off the field.
Of course, when it comes to a disciplinary matter, we have to analyze the situation and have our evidence, but we can no longer accept the same excuses," AS quotes Infantino as saying.
