Infantino condemns Muntari racist abuse

Published on: 16 May 2017

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has condemned the racist abuse sufferd by Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari labeling those who hurled the insults as “idiots.”

 

Sulley Muntari was a victim of racial abuse in an Italian serie A game for Pescara against Cagliari.

 

The midfielder walked off the pitch which saw him attracting a yellow card that was subsequently reversed.

 

Meanwhile, FIFA president Gianni Infantino is the latest to condemn the insults hurled at the veteran midfielder.

 

Infantino, speaking to reporters before the start of the FIFA Congress in Bahrain, called those who insulted Muntari "idiots" and reminded all of the process of handling such incitements.

 

"The three step process (is) stop the game, make an announcement, stop the game a while, get the players out," Infantino began. "Unfortunately there are always idiots everywhere but we have to fight them, we have to continue to fight.

 

"It's good to bring these things out when they happen. We have to work."

 

Muntari was left on the bench in this weekends defeat to Crotone.
