ROME (Reuters) - Italy's soccer federation has overturned a one-match ban handed to Pescara midfielder Sulley Muntari for walking off during a match after complaining about racist chanting, world players' union FIFPro said on Friday. His ban has been overturned tonight," the union said in a tweet. Italy and some other countries have struggled to stamp out racist chants at games. Muntari said he had complained that parts of the crowd, including children, had hurled racist insults at him from the start of the match. After the incident, FIFPro urged Italian authorities to "take firm action to ensure this never happens again".
