The Norilsk Nickel mini-football club issued a statement in which it reported insults towards its player from Sibiryak supporters.
Shortly before the end of today’s second match of the 14th round between the teams of Sibiryak and Norilsk Nickel, there was an incident that in any healthy society cannot but cause disgust. A group of active supporters of the Novosibirsk club, motivated either by resentment at the series of defeats of their team, or by an elementary lack of culture and disgust, began to insult our player Nando in an organized and prolonged manner. Without going into details, we can say with certainty that a manifestation of racism occurred. As a result, our dark-skinned player, who in the recent past defended the colors of the Russian national team, not wanting to put up with what was happening in the stands, was forced to leave the playing field earlier than foreseen.
We believe that fans like these, who suffer from racial and other prejudices, should have nothing to do with futsal, or sport in general. Their place is not in the stands of a sports facility, but in a cattle pen.
We hope that RFUs and other relevant organizations will take decisive action to ensure that such incidents do not occur again in the future, not only in Novosibirsk – a city where, as we know, there are glorious sports traditions (including futsal ), but also in other regions of our country. big country.
