FIFA head Gianni Infantino urges 'zero tolerance' for racism after interruption of Ligue 1 match by chants directed at Prince Gouano

Firstpost  

The abuse levelled at Gouano in Friday’s goalless draw comes after rising Italy star Moise Kean was racially abused by Cagliari fans earlier in the month. Paris: FIFA head Gianni Infantino on Saturday appealed for football to take a “zero tolerance” approach to racism after the Ligue 1 match between Dijon and Amiens was interrupted following monkey chants directed at Prince Gouano. The abuse levelled at Gouano in Friday’s goalless draw comes after rising Italy star Moise Kean was racially abused by Cagliari fans earlier in the month, while Inter Milan fans took aim at Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly in December. “In Dijon, we saw that it was an isolated supporter who could be identified and arrested,” football sociologist Nicolas Hourcade, a professor at the Central School of Lyon, told AFP, adding, “in other countries, there are collective demonstrations where a whole section of the ground, or a good part of one, can shout monkey chants or racist slogans.” After the game, the French football league said it would investigate and also announced that Dijon had identified the culprit.
