Racism in football: Marco Curto closed for ten games!

In a worrying incident that shaken the football world, the Italian player Marco Curto was closed to ten games due to racist insults. The sanction of the World Association FIFA follows an insult that Curto is said to have expressed in a friendly game by the Italian first division team Como in 1907 against the South Korean Hwang Hee-Chan from the Wolverhampton hikers. These strict measures, which also include a two -year probation period, should set a clear signal against discrimination.

"The player Marco Curto was convicted of discriminatory behavior," said a spokesman for FIFA. In addition to the player lock, Curto is also intended for non -profit work, as is training at an organization recognized by FIFA to promote awareness and responsibility. The 25-year-old defender is currently loaned at the Italian second division club Cesena.

Curto's position and reactions of the clubs

Como 1907, Curto’s original club, reacted to the incident with the view that the situation was "disproportionately inflated". According to media reports, Curto Hwang only compared to the well -known actor Jackie Chan without making derogatory statements. This raises questions about the interpretation of the incident, since such similarities can be understood very differently depending on the context.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, welcomed FIFA's decisions and emphasized that the lock imposed was a clear sign that racism and discriminatory behavior in the sports world and beyond are not accepted. Matt Wild, the club's football director, emphasized that this incident and the following measures stand for more understanding and tolerance in football.

The lock of Curto and the various reactions that the incident has triggered are not only significant for the player himself, but also lead a light on the ongoing efforts to actively combat racist tendencies in sport. It remains to be seen how such events will affect the decisions and guidelines of the football associations in the future.
