Investigation underway into alleged racial abuse in Dunedin club football

Photo: suppliedAn investigation has been launched by Southern Football after a Wanaka footballer was allegedly racially abused in a match against Roslyn Wakari in Dunedin. Too focused on his football, Lourenço said he did not hear a slur, but his teammates did and confronted the crowd. Video of the incident has been sent to New Zealand Football for review. The Qatar Football Association denied the player used a racial slur, saying the two had an exchange of words "in the heat of the moment".
