FIFA called to investigate racial chants against Pogba
World football governing body FIFA has announced it will investigate racist abuse directed at French players from Russian fans during Tuesday's global friendly in St. Petersburg.
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele were among those said to be targeted by monkey noises during a friendly against the World Cup hosts in St Petersburg on Tuesday.
Federation Internationale de Football Association is gathering the diverse match reports and potential confirmation concerning the biased episode announced in the media, including the one from the Fare eyewitness who was available at the game.
French Sports Minister Laura Flessel-Colovic wrote on Twitter: "Racism does not have its place on soccer fields".
Neither the players nor the French team management commented on the allegations, while Russian authorities said on Wednesday they hadn't heard anything but were prepared to look into it. "If violations did take place we will resort to all the necessary measures". "We must act together at the European and worldwide level to stop this intolerable behavior".
