A matter taken very seriously by the Korean federation which expressly asked FIFA to“eradicate racism on football pitches”. On the Italian side, the club decided to defend its player, even accusing the Korean of having made a situation worse that was not worth it. Hwang Hee-Chan published a post on his networks with this sentence in mind:Racism is intolerable in sport and in all aspects of life” An investigation will be opened by FIFA.
