FIFA charges WCup host Russia over fan racism
Print Edition
FIFA yesterday charged host Russia with fan racism, less than 2 months before the World Cup kicks off.
Monkey chants were aimed at black French players during France鈥檚 3-1 friendly win over Russia in St Petersburg last month. 鈥淒isciplinary proceedings have been opened against the Russian Football Union for this incident,鈥 FIFA said. The RFU said it is cooperating with the probe. Russia was previously charged with racist behavior by its fans at the last two European Championships. On both occasions, the RFU paid a fine. It鈥檚 the third racism case this season at St Petersburg Stadium, which will host a World Cup semifinal. Zenit St Petersburg has twice faced UEFA charges for racism by its fans in Europa League games.
