These are very sad events that are happening more and more in our society and in football. This Saturday, the meeting between Udinese and AC Milan was interrupted ten minutes after Mike Maignan, accompanied by his teammates, returned to the locker room after hearing racist insults against him. Logically furious, the goalkeeper of the France team was able to count on the support of several teammates. Calling for heavy sanctions, the goalkeeper trained at PSG was heard this Monday.
Indeed, the Friuli club announced that a racist supporter was banned for life from access to the Udine stadium this Monday. The club specifies: “We believe that such strong measures are necessary to send a clear message that racism has no place in football or in society, Udinese explained in a statement. The club strongly opposes any form of discrimination and we are committed to creating an inclusive and respectful environment within our football community. (…) Udinese calls on all football stakeholders to unite in the fight against racism and discrimination, fostering an environment that celebrates diversity and promotes inclusion.»
