FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called for a forfeit of games by teams whose fans commit racist abuse after incidents across Europe.

AC Milan players walked off the pitch after their goalkeeper Mike Maignan says he heard racist chants from the crowd – while Coventry player Kasey Palmer suffered racist chants in the UK.

“Disappointed to even have to come on here and write this. Racism is a disgrace …. it has no place in the world, let alone football,” the Coventry player then posted on X (formerly Twitter)

“I’m black and proud, and I am raising my three kids to be the exact same. I’ll be honest, it feels like things will never change, no matter how hard we try.

“Couple of fans doing monkey chants don’t define a fan base – I appreciate all the love and support I’ve received.”
