“It’s a football-related problem and we mustn’t look for excuses like: ‘It’s society’s problem, therefore, it’s fine in football.’ In the world of football, we must act in a very forceful way,” he said. Infantino last Friday said the player agreed to work with a FIFA task force that aims to “elaborate concrete and efficient measures to end racism in football once and for all.” Vinícius, who is Black, has been the target of sustained racist abuse by fans in Spanish stadiums throughout the season while playing for Real Madrid, with little done by referees or soccer organizers to protect him.
The incidents came days after Infantino restated FIFA’s determination to tackle racism and discrimination after he visited Brazil star Vinícius Júnior at a training camp in Spain. “The (federation) does not tolerate any racism towards any of our players or staff and will be reporting this serious matter to FIFA and UEFA,” the Irish soccer body said on its Twitter account.
