FIFA statement.
China News Service, June 3rd, FIFA issued a statement on the headline of the website "Stop Racism Prejudice, Stop Violence" on the 2nd of Beijing time, which wrote: FIFA has repeatedly expressed its firm opposition to any form of racism And discrimination. At the same time, it said that the Bundesliga players who spoke for the victims in the game a few days ago should get applause, not punishment.
The statement reads: "FIFA fully understands the deep emotions and concerns expressed by many players in the tragedy of George Freud. FIFA has repeatedly expressed its firm opposition to any form of racism and discrimination. The relevant disciplinary regulations have recently been strengthened to help eliminate such discriminatory behavior. FIFA itself has launched many anti-racism campaigns, and these events often convey anti-racism messages in the competitions we host."
"The rules of the game approved by the FIFA Council are left to the competition organizers for reference and application. They should use common sense and fully consider the background of the relevant events."
FIFA President Infantino also added in a statement: "To avoid doubt, in the FIFA game, the recent (anti-racist) demonstrations of players in the Bundesliga should be applauded rather than punished. We All must fight against racism and any form of discrimination. We must all fight against violence, including any form of violence."
At the end of the statement, FIFA continued to scream: stop racism! Stop discrimination! Stop violence!
Before this, including La Liga, Bundesliga and the Premier League, there have been clubs and players in various ways to support the victims and oppose racism. (Finish)
