FIFA to take disciplinary action over fan discrimination against Canadian goalkeeper Bojan
2022-11-30 13:47FIFA (FIFA) recently issued a statement announcing that it will launch disciplinary proceedings against Croatian fans for discriminatory behavior against the identity of Canadian goalkeeper Milan Bojan.
During the Qatar World Cup group match between Croatia and Canada at the Khalifa International Stadium on Monday, Croatian fans in the stands displayed banners containing discrimination and anti-foreign hateful content. The verbal attack was born in Croatia But the Canadian goalkeeper Bojan is now a Serb.
Serbian Canadian goalkeeper
The 35-year-old Bojan was born in a small town in Knin County, Croatia. In 1995, Croatia launched the last major war of independence, so Bojan and his parents moved to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Although they immigrated to Canada later, because Bojan joined Belgrade's football youth team since he was a child, he currently chooses to play for the Belgrade Red Star in Serbia, and is also eligible to represent the Canadian national team in international competitions, which aroused the anger of some Croatians.
"Having experienced too much of the dark side of football in his career"
In fact, Bo Yang had clarified his origin earlier, but he was still attacked by many people. However, in the recent World Cup, some Croatian fans began to attack Bojan. They ridiculed and discriminated against Bojan’s identity. To have been a target for opposition fans in your football career and experience the dark side of football is not a good thing for the sport as a whole and football in particular."
Croatian Football Federation spokesman Tomislav Pacak also emphasized that the team opposes any form of racist hatred and discrimination, and urged fans and everyone to be cautious in their words and deeds and not to engage in any discriminatory behavior.
FIFA will launch an investigation and has not disclosed the details
According to a statement issued by FIFA recently, although it announced that it will launch an investigation, it has not yet disclosed the time for closing the case and the disciplinary action taken. However, according to previous sanctions, fines will be the main solution.
After Canada's 4-1 defeat to Croatia in the final of the World Cup on Monday, the Canadian team came to the bottom of the F group stage with a 2-game losing streak.
