FIFA President Gianni Infantino speaks during the 29th AFC Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Saturday, April 6, 2019. (Vincent Thian/Associated Press)FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called for a crackdown on racism at soccer games after several high-profile incidents, and encouraged referees to abandon matches in the worst cases. FIFA says it fully supports Gouano, as well as players such as Kalidou Koulibaly, Raheem Sterling and Danny Rose, who were also subjected to racist abuse. Rose was among England players targeted with monkey chants in Montenegro last month while playing in a European Championship qualifier. “In recent days, it has been very sad to see a number of racist incidents in football,” Infantino said.
