“In Italy, the situation has not improved and this is serious. Racism is fought through education, condemning it, talking about it. We cannot accept racism in society and in football. We have to
identify those responsible and throw them out of the stadiums. We need clear sentences, as in England. We must not be afraid to condemn the racists, we must fight them to the end.”
-- FIFA president

Fiorentina was halted for several minutes because of racial abuse of Brazilian

cries without any sanction being taken. (
